Mufti Abdool Kader Hoosen:
"I was born in Heidelberg, Gauteng, South Africa on the 20th April
1957. After studying at the primary school in Heidelberg, my parents
Ismail and Halima Hoosen(Rahmatullahi Alayhim) motivated me to start
memorizing the Quraan Shareef. Thus I started myHifz in 1968 and
completed in 1970 under the tutorship of Hafiz Ebrahim Limalia.
In 1974, I pursued my Islamic studies in Karachi,Pakistan, as I wanted
to know what is the meaning of the Noble Quraan. Alhamdulillah, I
graduated in 1980 at Jamia Farooqia Karachi,Pakistan. In 1990 I
completed my MA with distinction at the Rand Afrikaans University in
Islamic studies.
I always yearned to teachat a Darul Uloom and in January 1981, I
started teaching at Darul Uloom Newcastle. The portfolios I held there
was vice principle, Mufti and Senior Lecturer on Tafseer, Quraan and
Hadith etc. After staying for 20 years in Newcastle,I joined Cii in
January 2001 as a resident Mufti. My wife, Fathima is a great
inspiration for me."
