December 2011 - Nameer Bhatti
Philadelphia Majlis, East Region

He currently serves MKA as Regional Motamid for the East Region and is the Local Financial Secretary for Philadelphia.

Having graduated "magna cum laude" (top 10% of his class) from Villanova University in 2008, Nameer is currently employed by Aqua America as a rate analyst. At work, he has received the Chairman's Award, which is a distinction given by managers to particular employees that have shown dedication, loyalty, and continue to add value to Aqua America.

During the 2008 Financial Crisis, Nameer was laid off from employment for 6 months. When Ramadan approached, he decided to donate some money to the Mosque fund. Then he witnessed the handiwork of Allah Almighty, and just 2 weeks after, Nameer was given an offer for employment that was much better than his previous job. Such fortune is m merely a true blessing from Allah, considering unemployment throughout the country was still at historic proportions during that period.

When asked about his success, Nameer says, "Alhamdolillah, all these accomplishments have come from the blessings of the Promised Messiah (as). Many people may think that time or money given to the Jama'at is lost time or forfeited money. However I find that the more time and money you give to Allah, the more blessings you receive throughout your life." 
In his spare time, Nameer enjoys reading and spending time with family and friends.
