Our dear Shaykh is a beacon of knowledge for all of us in the west, there are many times he has delivered sessions for University Islamic Societies and immensely benefitted them all. Outside of this, he has been a source of personal benefit too - I pray that Allah grants him a long life filled with barakah and allows his efforts to weigh heavily in the akhirah.

Sheikh Dr. Sajid Umar is a gem to the Muslim Community in the West. A trained, erudite scholar that understands the complexities of minorities who is able to fluidly and authentically apply Islam to our contexts in all areas of fiqh. Alongside his academic excellence, he organically pairs this intense field with the skills of practical dawah through lectures, talks, reminders, khatiras, seminars and workshops. I love him for the sake of Allah and ask Allahu subhanahu wa ta'ala to bless him and protect him.
