Abdul is committed to making social impact more collaborative, more reflective, and more rooted in community life. As an author, research scholar, trainer, and photovoice facilitator, his work explores the intersections of nonprofit collaboration, interfaith engagement, and participatory research. 

He helps practitioners, scholars, and leaders move from doing for communities to working with them. His research focuses on the factors that enable and hinder collaboration among nonprofit organizations, particularly within interfaith and intrafaith contexts. He engages academics, nonprofit leaders, practitioners, and students in developing more collaborative, reflective, and community-driven approaches to social impact. He is especially interested in how interfaith engagement can strengthen collaborative ecosystems and foster more inclusive and relational approaches to community work. 

Abdul is excited to join the Interfaith Photovoice team and looks forward to bringing his experience in participatory research, nonprofit collaboration, and community-engaged scholarship to support meaningful intergroup dialogue and shared storytelling across faith communities.
