The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is excited to announce that the current President Dr. Mohsin Ansari finished his four years term as the President of the organization and brother Saad Kazmi has been elected as the organization’s new President for the upcoming two-year term (2025-2026). Brother Saad Kazmi will take his oath on January 25th 2025, in the General Assembly meeting to be held at Houston Texas. The election results reflect a strong commitment from ICNA’s nationwide membership, with a robust turnout and active involvement in the process.
Saad Kazmi, a pharmacist by profession, resides in Murphy, TX, and is a proud father of four. His leadership journey is rooted in a deep commitment to ICNA’s mission of building a society grounded in morality and God-consciousness. His election comes after a fair and transparent voting process conducted through an electronic voting system, ensuring broad participation and representation across ICNA’s diverse membership.
This election was a historic moment for ICNA, as 80.4% members of the general assembly participated in the election process. Such widespread engagement exemplifies ICNA’s long-standing tradition of governance and shura, where members are directly involved in choosing their leadership.
ICNA’s governance process, which has been in place for 50+ years, involves electing Presidents for a maximum of two, two-year terms, with the next two years marking an exciting new chapter under Kazmi’s leadership. His election underscores the trust and unity within the ICNA community, as the organization continues to grow and fulfill its mission through projects like ICNA Relief, Why Islam, Gain Peace, Helping Hands, Young Muslims, Embrace, Council of Social Justice and more.
As the largest Muslim organization in the U.S., ICNA remains committed to serving its members and the broader community, striving to build a society rooted in justice, compassion, and faith.
At this time we want thank our outgoing President Dr. Mohsin Ansari for his leadership, dedication and unparalleled commitment towards serving the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and bringing ICNA to a level where we stand now.
We look forward to the inspiring leadership that Saad Kazmi will bring, and we are confident that his vision will guide ICNA toward even greater impact in the years ahead.
Welcome, President Saad Kazmi!
