Muhammad Haim Malik
The English Premier League is the most-watched professional sports league in the world. Clubs have diverse squads and players coming from different nationalities, races and religions.
In recent years, the number of Muslim players in the English Premier League has amazingly continued to rise.
The benefits have been several, including the drop in Islamophobia, a better understanding of Islam, and for the youth to have Muslim superstars to connect to.
Here are those who are playing in the 2025-2026 season. It’s showing the first team players selected in the main squad and younger players who have played in first team competitive matches.
May Allah bless them all, protect them from harms and guide them to be good Muslim role models.
