Hamza Karamali
BASc And MASc in Computer Engineering
Hamza Karamali earned his BASc And MASc in Computer Engineering at the University of
Toronto, after which he moved abroad to study the Islamic sciences full-time in Kuwait, UAE,
and Jordan, reading and memorizing traditional works in all of the Islamic sciences, and
earning Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Islamic Law and Legal Theory from Jamia
Nizamiyya in Hyderabad, India. Hamza specializes in developing authentically Muslim
responses to the problem of atheism and is currently developing ‘The Thinking Muslim’s
Guide to Atheist Arguments’ (YouTube series) as well as a curriculum for courses that are
designed to take Islamic education to a new level by basing all their conclusions on rational
evidence. His work is grounded in the scholarly traditions of Muslim seminaries such as al-
Azhar of Cairo, the Qarawiyyin of Fez, the Zaytuna of Tunisia, and the Deoband of India.
Hamza describes the evidence-based curriculum of these classical seminaries in his ‘The
Madrasa Curriculum in Context’, and he plans to develop that scholarly vision further in a
forthcoming work that presents traditional Islamic logic in the idiom of contemporary logic
and philosophy.
