Career
She publishes episodes of her programme "Rihlat al-Sira al-Nabawiyya ma'a Nourhan El-Sheikh" (Journey of the Prophetic Biography with Nourhan El-Sheikh) on her channel herself, announced weekly on Thursdays at 8 p.m. 1
On television she presents "Qissa min Nur" (A Story of Light) on Al Nahar Live on Saturdays and Sundays at 6.30 p.m., as part of the channel's new programme map. 2
No independent biographical source for her could be verified, so nothing is recorded here about her life beyond her announced work in preaching and media. 1
Works
Her series "Journey of the Prophetic Biography with Nourhan El-Sheikh" is her main work on the channel, treating the Prophet ﷺ's life in sequential episodes across its Meccan and Medinan phases. 1
Her television programme "A Story of Light" presents the stories of the prophets and the Companions and the situations and lessons in them, in the channel's own description of the programme. 2
Positions and criticism
This section presents what the sources report about her work; it is not the museum's verdict on her or on her opinions.
Her announced approach in "A Story of Light" is to present the Prophetic biography from a perspective highlighting the Prophet's ethics, mercy and humanity, focusing on aspects she considers insufficiently attended to in the common picture of his life. 2
