"This is a very precious time for the entire Muslim community but it’s also very special for me and my family. It’s an opportunity to contribute. To contribute just a little more. I always try to give a lot, but it’s always good to give a little more. Alhamdulillah two of my kids are volunteering here today."

~ Haji Ibrahim Noor at MAC Eid Festival

What do you want for Eid?
Anything. Actually, toys!

~ Siraj, Salahuddin, Zaid, Ibrahim, et al. at MAC Eid Festival

I want to make a new biomedical device that’s not available anywhere.  I’m trying to work on non-invasive blood pressure modelling, to do something optical instead of those cuffs, something you can wear that will tell you your blood pressure. That’s what I’m researching and maybe I’ll wind up making something like that.  

It’s about being happy. Because Muslims are happy too. And we love to meet people from all over the world.

What gets you excited?
Space exploration, legos and silent films.
Why?
Space exploration, no explanation needed. Legos, because I love to build things and put things together. Silent films really make you appreciate the cinematography.
