"We have had the honor and pleasure of working with Abu Shahadah on many occasions and on many different projects within the last 20 years. We can say that we know him on many different levels.

He has been a self motivated and determined individual for as long as we have known him. Working not only to improve his immediate circle but the community on a whole. He has assisted us in building dawah projects throughout the GTA, as a teacher, a da'ee, a counselor, and an adviser. Working alongside many masajid and organizations to build a structured community in regards to it's educational functionality, he has gone above and beyond what is expected. Upon establishing a productive Youth Program himself, he has also developed a clothing line which is known throughout the GTA. As a student of knowledge, he has grown in character, mannerisms, and overall as a person.

With his travels to numerous countries throughout the world and the vast numbers of cities within North America, Abu Shahadah has acquired many skills and character traits that makes him a distinct and specialized asset to our community."
