One of the terror suspects in the Bondi Beach Hanukkah massacre is believed to have studied religion at an Islamic center in Australia that has ties to other Muslim-run organizations in the country.

Naveed Akram, 24, who allegedly opened fire with his father on thousands of Jews celebrating Hanukkah on Sunday night, was tagged in a February 2022 social media post praising him for mastering “all the rules of tajweed” — the recitation of laws of the Quran — at the Al-Murad Institute outside Sydney.

“Another one of my dear students, Naveed Akram, passing the Iqra books and tajweed this morning, perfecting his all the rules of tajweed,” Adam Ismail, head of the institute, said in the since-deleted Facebook post.

The post showed the pair smiling at the camera in what appeared to be a library, as Akram proudly held up his certificate.

The suspected gunman was investigated in 2019 for possible terror ties by the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO), the country’s version of the FBI, the ABC reported.

“He was examined on the basis of being associated with others, and the assessment was made that there was no indication of any ongoing threat or threat of him engaging in violence,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Monday, CNN reported.

ASIO also believed that Akram and his father, Sajid, 50, pledged allegiance to ISIS before the attack, and terrorism investigators found an ISIS flag in their vehicle, the public broadcaster reported, citing sources.

Al-Murad Institute has since wiped its website and social media accounts.

Ismail said he lost contact with his former student in early 2022 and now claims the deadly shooting has triggered death treats, forcing him and his family to flee their home, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

“I am devastated by the images of the victims in Bondi,” he told the newspaper.

While running and teaching at the Al-Murad Institute, Ismail also serves as a mentor at 5 Before 5 Solutions, an Australia-based organization that provides counseling and Islamic youth development programs, according to its website.

He works in the youth refuge and rehabilitation sector, his profiles says, with individuals “both young and old” experiencing trauma, mental health issues and homelessness.

5 Before 5 Solutions and Ismail could not immediately be reached for comment.

Akram is an Australian-born citizen, while his 50-year-old father arrived in the country in 1998 on a student visa, which later transitioned to a partner visa in 2001, Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke told reporters Monday.

Since then, the gun-wielding father — who was killed at the scene during a shootout with police — had made three trips abroad, returning each time on a resident return visa, Burke said.  

Sunday’s horrific attack erupted as about 1,000 people gathered at the Chanukah by the Sea event at the famed Sydney beach.

The cowardly duo stormed the beach armed with what appeared to be shotguns and a bolt-action rifle, killing at least 15 people ranging in age from 10 to 87, most of whom are believed to be Jewish, and injuring another 40 in the slaughter.

Screams could be heard between loud gunshots, which continued for 10 terrifying minutes before a local fruit seller — 43-year-old Ahmed Al-Ahemd — snuck up on Akram and tackled him to the ground.

While Sajid was killed by police, Akram was critically wounded and taken to a hospital. Officials said charges will likely be filed against him for the terrorist plot that targeted Jewish people.

The rampage is the deadliest mass shooting in Australia since the 1996 Port Arthur attack.
