Morad was born and raised in a small kingdom named Jordan, he knew ever since he took his first history lesson at school that to be Jordanian is not a nationality, it's a responsibility. At the age of 8 and 9 he participated in a national competition to help reduce Jordan's electric bill and save the planet, he won two years in a row. He edited the wall magazine at his school for many years, fell in love with journalism, and law not so many years later, but he ended up majoring in Electrical power engineering at Yarmouk university. Up to his knees in mathematical formulas and physical laws, Morad did not get over his old love for Journalism, so he worked as a reporter for Yarmouk newspaper, a job that allowed him to meet a diversity of people, and opened his eyes to a whole new world.

As a URI Ambassador he took an oath to do the best he can to promote interfaith harmony and exonerate Islam from the false charges of terrorism and extremism through a project called Islamotopia ( Islam + Utopia ). For the time being he is working on another project called “I spy with my little eye” with the help of some of URI staff and friends, they aim to provide an image of the world that is unedited, unfiltered and uncensored – Kind of like this piece of writing.
