Hussein Nasser Walji

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hussein Nasser Walji (3 September 1920 – 17 December 2005) was a founding member of the Bilal Muslim Mission.[1] He previously had been president of a jamaat in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, during the expansion of the community[which?] in the 1960s, and was involved in the establishment of Mehfil-e-Asgari.

Personal life

[edit]

Walji's father died when he was young, so he worked in order to provide for his mother and younger brother. He married and had four daughters. He was in close association with many popular figures of his time, including Mulla Asghar, Sa'id Akhtar Rizvi, and Laurean Rugambwa. Hussein Nasser moved to Canada and settled in Brampton, Ontario. He never returned to Tanzania, and died in 2005.
