Early life

Abdur-Rahkman was born on September 1, 1994, in Allentown, Pennsylvania to Dawud and Tammy Abdur-Rahkman. He has a sister, Nailah, and a brother, Shahad. Dawud was an assistant men's basketball coach at Muhlenberg College. Shahad played college basketball at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. Abdur-Rahkman was a four-time PIAA Class AAA All-State selection—first team (2013, 2014), second team (2011, 2012)—for Allentown Central Catholic High School.[1] Dawud became the head men's basketball coach at Lehigh Carbon Community College in 2017.[2]

Abdur-Rahkman received over 30 scholarship offers, mostly from second tier programs. As a result, he waited until the late signing period of his senior season in hopes of getting the attention of a major program. Former college basketball coach Dave Rooney had been a friend of

Penn State and was expected to land at one of those schools had Michigan not made him an offer.[5]
