Shaykh Dr. Aaidh ibn Abdullah al-Qarni (also spelt al-Qarnee and ʻĀʼiḍ Quranī), (born 1 January 1959), is a Saudi [1] Islamic Muslim scholar, author, and activist.[2]

Al-Qarni is best known for his self-help book La Tahzan (Don't Be Sad), which is aimed at Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Al Qarni was recently sued for plagiarism. After being found guilty of stealing the work of female writer Salwa Aededan, al Qarni's book La Tayass (Do not Despair) was banned and blacklisted by Saudi authorities. al-Qarni responded that he was following a precendent of plagerism by other Islamic scholars.[3] Samir Faraj, an Egyptian poet, has also claimed that al-Qarni stole his book Shuara Katalhom Shirahom (Poets Killed by Their Poems) and published it the name Kasaid Katalat Ashabaha (Poems That Murdered Their Writers).[3][4]

Al-Quarni is on the United States do not fly list and was barred entry in 2012 and 2015 to attend a convention in Chicago.[5]
