Yusuf Mansur

Jam'an Nurkhatib Mansur (born December 19, 1976), better known as Yusuf Mansur, is a popular Indonesian Islamic preacher, writer, and businessman from Jakarta, as well as the principal of the pesantren boarding school Daarul Qur'an Ketapang in Tangerang. He is considered as among the many pop Islamic preachers who employ pop psychology and management theory to promote and propagate Islam (dawah) through self-help seminars and televangelism.

Early life Mansur was born to a Betawi family and known for being pampered by his parents, and a smart child. The simple style of his lecture makes the contents of the lecture easily digested by the public, thus leading to his popularity. He is now a member of the business network Veretra Sentosa International (VSI). After his success, Yusuf Mansur initiated the establishment of Qur'an Recitation Nursery Program (PPPA) which aimed at the free education for Qur'an memorization, in Pondok Pesantren Daarul Qur'an Ketapang in Cipondoh, Tangerang, Banten.

Although already a national figure well known by the people of Indonesia, Yusuf Mansur is known for paying homage and respect (tawadhu and ta'zhim) toward his teachers in elementary and secondary schools. This can be seen from the way he kisses their hands when he meets them. He also often takes time to stop at madrasah where he was raised by his teachers.
