Imam Ahmed Alamine began his Islamic scholarship under the guidance of his father, an imam and professor. He holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Islamic Studies and a Master of Business Administration. He is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Philanthropic Leadership at Indiana University.
In 2017, he became the Imam of the Indianapolis Muslim Community Association (IMCA). In 2024, Imam Alamine was promoted to Executive Director to oversee the IMCA and its subsidiaries, including the Masjid, full-time school, Weekend School, Food Pantry, free health clinic, and Islamic funeral services.
He also serves as a Sheriff Chaplain with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office and, in 2019, became the first Muslim Police Chaplain with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. Imam Alamine is a prominent interfaith leader dedicated to fostering understanding, compassion, service, and peaceful coexistence.
The inaugural Eradicate Hate Summit was a truly impressive gathering of leaders dedicated to finding lasting and effective solutions to violent extremism. I was particularly moved by the prominence given to survivors and family members of victims of hate and violence throughout the event. Their stories and those of so many others must be at the center of what we do and why we do it.
