He was advised against this by his friend Khader Hussein who suggested Al-Ameen Educational Society as a reference to the title given to Prophet Muhammad which meant The Trustworthy. Hussein later became the principle of Saboo Siddiq Polytechnic, Bombay. Abbasiya Begum, a female member of the Karnataka Legislative Council was elected the first chairperson of this society.[citation needed]
