Mujaddid Ahmed Ijaz
The Ijazes initially settled in Blacksburg, where Virginia Tech was situated, and lived there from 1964 until 1969. After several years of living in the rural community of Floyd, Virginia, they returned to Christiansburg, a township near Virginia Tech, in 1973, building a home in the Appalachian Mountains that today remains the family's homestead.
