“As a Sacramento native, I have always considered Mufti Aamir to be a gem of the greater Sacramento community. In an age in which traditional scholarship is needed more than ever, Mufti Aamir is an invaluable source of knowledge and wisdom. In addition to his service to the community as a leader, preacher, and teacher, he is also incredibly well-versed in a multitude of the technical Islamic sciences, some of which are rare skills even among scholars. I was fortunate enough to have studied some of these sciences with him for several years.
As I now progress through my graduate program in Islamic Studies, I am increasingly appreciative of and grateful for my past lessons with Mufti Aamir. As a teacher, he always ensured that I had a comprehensive understanding of the material while maintaining a tradition-based approach. He encouraged critical and intellectual engagement with the material while not compromising the basic tenets of the Islamic intellectual tradition.
His articulate didactic style and his unwavering commitment to academic rigor allowed me to excel in my later studies. I ask Allah to grant him a share of reward for every good that I achieve.”
