Soufyan, once a Marine with a deep love for combat sports like Thai boxing and jujitsu, found his heart drawn to Islam through the strength and resilience of the Muslims he met during his military service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Initially held by stereotypes, his heart opened as he felt the strong faith of those around him.

After returning from his missions, Soufyan wrestled with an internal struggle that ultimately led him to leave the Marine Corps and delve deeper into Islam. Embracing the faith came at a high cost—he lost friends, the respect of comrades, and even the support of close family members. Yet, he gained something far greater: peace, purpose, and a deep connection with his Creator.

Fifteen years into his life as a Muslim, Sufyan founded Sunnah Force to combine his love for fitness with his devotion to faith. Sunnah Force inspires Muslim men to pursue both physical and spiritual strength, honoring the principles of Islam while pushing their limits in fitness.
