Wisdom From the Community Builder Imam Qasim Ahmed

“I build communities and schools both physically and mentally because I’m a carpenter by trade; so that’s what I do and I’ve been doing it for 30 years. It’s not just building individuals though it’s building communities; we have Qur’anic workshops. At my institute, the Islamic Learning Institute, the motto is ‘Traveling the World to Educate and Propagate’ that’s what I do.” Along with training Imams, Imam Qasim also trains teachers and creates youth development classes along with helping communities create an overall education framework.
