Ahmed Khairy Al-Omari is an Iraqi writer and dentist born in Baghdad in 1970. He belongs to the Omari family in Mosul, which traces its lineage back to Caliph Omar bin Al-Khattab. His father is an Iraqi historian and judge, Khairy Al-Omari. He graduated as a dentist from the University of Baghdad in 1993, but he is known as an Islamic writer through his writings that combine a modern approach in presenting topics and literary style. In 2010, he was chosen to be the intellectual figure honored by Dar Al-Fikr in its annual tradition, which previously honored figures such as Abdul Wahab Al-Messiri, Al-Buti, and Al-Zuhaili. Thus, Al-Omari is the youngest of these honorees, as he was chosen before he reached the age of forty.
