Haji Mohammad Umar’s Islamic intellectual roots run deep, dating back to Sir Sayyed Ahmad Khan’s founding of Aligarh Muslim University. He has a strong command of the Urdu and Persian languages, and decided to return to school after realizing the importance of modern education. 

This appreciation for education moved him to want premium education for his children. He sent his youngest son to Aligarh Muslim University in Aligarh, India, to receive western education.

Despite being a committed Muslim, Haji respected other religions and developed positive relationships with the other cultures. He became a Christian and delights in charitable giving to the less fortunate on a weekly basis.
