Mr. Momin Saeed

Founder & Managing Director, Abrahamic Finance
Momin Saeed is a prominent and engaged figure in Alberta’s Muslim community, with extensive experience across advocacy, Islamic finance, and real estate development. He pursued initial religious training through the Hifz program at Darul Uloom in both Edmonton and Vancouver. Momin was a key board member and the first Executive Director of the Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council (AMPAC), now known as NCCM Alberta, an advocacy group focused on advancing Muslim interests at all three levels of government. Following the tragic New Zealand mosque massacre, Momin’s powerful keynote address, calling for white supremacist groups to be added to terror watch lists, garnered national attention. He has been interviewed extensively and has contributed op-eds to major news outlets. His commitment to Islamic finance led him to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he earned a full scholarship to study Islamic Banking and Finance. He is a Chartered Islamic Finance Professional from INCEIF University in Malaysia and holds the Certified Shariah Advisor and Auditor designation from AAOIFI in Bahrain. Through his firm, Abrahamic Finance, Momin, in collaboration with Shaykh Navaid Aziz and Dr. Hassan Lahsasna (Chairman of the Shariah Board of Standard Chartered Bank), provides Shariah-compliant advisory services to businesses, non-profits, and financial institutions. Momin also has nearly two decades of experience in real estate development and investments through his work with Royal Canadian Development. He leverages his expertise in both Islamic finance and real estate to offer Shariah-compliant investment options for development and construction projects in Alberta. In terms of academic achievements, Momin holds an MBA from the prestigious Smith School of Business at Queen's University (Canada), a B.Com in Accounting from the University of Alberta, and a certification in Commercial Real Estate Development from Cornell University. He is also in the process of completing his Commercial Real Estate License.
