Imam Saafir Rabb II of Baltimore, Maryland, is a model of the "excellent home in the future" that Imam Mohammed (ra) asked the generations to give him after his passing. He is what Imam Khalis Rashad, Imam of Ibrahim Islamic Center or Houston, Texas calls "a Bi-vocational Imam" https://medium.com/ummah-wide/a-case-for-the-3141bd455889.
