Eastern Mysticism and Western Writing w/ Wes Al-Dhaher

Wes his journey into spiritual traditions began when he discovered that Vlad the Impaler (the real Dracula) was actually defeated by Muslim warriors - a fact most history books conveniently ignore. This revelation led him down a fascinating path exploring how European and Middle Eastern spiritual traditions intertwined throughout history.

He has uncovered forgotten stories of how spiritual alchemy became a practical attempt at Hermeticism , how ancient Roman legions carried Egyptian mystery cults across the empire, and how medieval trade routes became superhighways for exchanging not just goods, but spiritual knowledge.

Through his work on Tales of Khayr, he now helps resurrect these lost narratives.

"If you’re a Muslim who loves comic books and manga, you know how frustrating it is to see your Deen and culture attacked in mainstream media.
You want to enjoy stories that are fun, exciting, and respectful of your beliefs–but you can’t find them anywhere.
If you’re like me, then you are tired of paying people who hate Islam to entertain you.
You deserve better.
You deserve stories that inspire you to be a better Muslim and a better man –not portray your heroes as bloodthirsty terrorists.
