in Pakistan and grew up in Karachi, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. He moved to Canada
while in high school, from where he graduated top of class. Shaykh Hamza
attended the University of Toronto with two scholarships and obtained his BASc.
in Computer Engineering. He was then awarded the Ontario Graduate Scholarship
to obtain his MASc. in Computer Engineering with a focus on hardware and
compilers. He has worked as a CAD Engineer for Gennum Corporation and as a

Shaykh Hamza’s initial education of Islam was
halaqa based self-study, and he was one of founding members of Young Muslims in
North America. His first introduction to traditional Islam occurred when he
attended a month-long Rihla program in the UK and had the opportunity to learn
from Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Shaykh Abdullah al-Kadi, Shaykh Nuh Keller, and others.
After returning to Toronto from this transforming
experience, he began studying with Shaykh Talal Ahdab. Over the course of eight
years while concurrently obtaining his secular education, Shaykh Hamza covered
various subjects with Shaykh Talal, including Arabic grammar, Islamic law (Shafi`i
school), legal methodology, Hadith methodology, logic, Islamic belief and
heresiology, Sira, Sufism, and other subjects. During this time, he also
memorized the Qur'an with Shaykh Omar Dogar at Masjid al-Falah. In addition,

logic, Islamic belief, Arabic grammar, and Arabic morphology with various
traditional scholars including Shaykh Amjad Rasheed, Shaykh Abd al-Rahman Kharsa,
Shaykh Jihad Hashim Brown, Shaykh Mu'min 'Annan, and others.

Jordan where he is now studying Islamic law and legal methodology with Shaykh

challenges that he feels are necessary to overcome include solving new legal and
philosophical problems in the light of traditional principles and presenting
information in a way that is consistent with the sensitivities of the modern
mindset. Shaykh Hamza currently resides in Amman, Jordan with his

"Knowing Shaykh Hamza personally, I feel obliged to talk about his ability to
gracefully disseminate sacred knowledge and the degree of thoroughness that was
apparent to all that were present when he taught several sessions from the
Ihya of Imam al-Ghazali in our weekend Shariah Program classes here in
Toronto. It is not often that one has the honor of benefiting from a
personality who embodies the spirit of his teachers, for that is the ultimate
trust and honor given to the inheritors of our Master, Rasulullah (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him)."
- Yusuf Mullan, Toronto Shariah Program

Not only was knowledge given, but also, throughout the entire course, students
were subtly nudged towards greater sincerity of worship. Shukran."
- Abdurahman Dollie, High School Teacher, South Africa
"Alhamdulillah, I have been blessed with the opportunity to study with Shaykh
Hamza Karamali for the past three semesters in the Shafi'i fiqh class. He is one
of the most encouraging and merciful teachers I know, and a tribute to the
spirit of this deen. He never makes you feel uncomfortable for the questions you
may ask or the mistakes you may make. He is always available to provide
assistance and many times forces you to think about your understanding and
methodology. It is a blessing to learn from him and to gain from his knowledge
and insight. He embodies the spirit of mercy and knowledge as seen in the great
scholars of Islam. May Allah preserve him."
- UmmYaqub, Special Education Secondary School Teacher, Arlington, Virginia
"I have studied different disciplines under Shaykh Hamza over the past few
years. The thing that impresses me the most about him is that despite the
vastness of his knowledge, he has no air of pride. He doesn't seem to get
bothered in the least or make you feel un-intelligent if you're having
difficulty understanding something. He genuinely, truly, and sincerely wants
you to learn."
- Zain Yamani, Physical Therapist, San Ramon, California
"Shaykh Hamza’s style of teaching is excellent; he interacts with all the
students making sure all the students understand the material. He's a tireless
teacher who is motivated to review the material himself as well. I have been
taking courses with Shaykh Hamza for over a year and would recommend him to any
seeking sacred knowledge, he has a way to motivate all involved in his courses
seeking only the pleasure of Allah ta'ala."
