Assalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Dear Nueces Mosque Community,

As some of you may have heard, after 8 years of tireless and exemplary service to the Nueces Mosque, UT students, our neighbors, and the greater Austin community, Mufti Mohamed-Umer Esmail has decided to move onto a new opportunity in the Austin area.

The Nueces Board of Directors, Executive Committee and ICGA Board of Trustees all wish him the very best as he transitions into his future endeavors. Mufti Mohamed-Umer Esmail has accepted a new position as Imam of the Islamic Center of Lake Travis (ICLT). His last day at Nueces will be March 31st, 2019.

Mufti Mohamed-Umer Esmail has been an integral part of the Nueces Mosque community for many years and has helped build lasting and deep relationships with the other local mosques, Austin city leaders, Churches and Synagogues and many other organizations whose goal is to serve those in need. He has taught, guided and helped countless number of students and community members during his tenure at Nueces. He often went out of his way to meet individual needs, providing counseling and religious guidance. Mufti Umer also organized and led a number of interfaith events and activities at Nueces and all across Austin.

While we will miss his knowledge and guidance, Mufti Umer has committed to stay engaged with Nueces Mosque as our religious advisor and help us during our search process for a new Imam.

Nueces Mosque will host a farewell dinner in Mufti Umer’s honor so stay tuned for more details. Please join us in making dua for Mufti Umer and his family, that his tenure at ICLT will bring them and the greater Austin area continued blessings from Allah SWT.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan,

Nueces Mosque Board of Directors
