Secretary, Association of Muslims Professional Inc., USA

Dr. Israrul Haque Ansari was born and brought up in district Ghazipur, (Uttar Pradesh), a relatively backward district where education is the least of all the priorities. He grew up in a middle-class family where things were not easy to come by. But by Almighty Allah’s mercy, hard work and education came by the much needed difference in his life.  He strongly believes, the only thing which can change an individual’s life or a society as a whole is “education and training”. 

Without a second thought, Mr. Israrul Haque joined AMP USA when Brother Mohammad Shahanshah Ansari contacted him and explained the objectives of this organization. Highly drawn in by AMP USA’s simple mission to help underprivileged and needy. With a belief in AMP USA’s concept of “today’s Zakat(charity) receivers could become Zakat givers of tomorrow”, he became of the important members of AMP USA and pledges to contribute his skills, expertise and learnings to the AMP USA in years to come.

After studying his PhD in AIIMS, New Delhi he moved to the USA for higher education and training. He has been living in the USA for approx. 19 years and currently is working as a scientist at University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA.

Having lived in both the countries, India and USA for a number of years, he firmly believes that “education and training” makes a lasting impact in most individual’s life as it did to his life.
