It was while he was at Mandela University that he met Tashi Moyenda, a young and very beautiful journalism major. They became very interested in each other and were soon dating and before long they had fallen love. Before long they were married and Tashi was thrilled to be apart of one of the most prominent families in Africa.

While Tashi pursued her journalism career with the Federation New Bureau, Mohammed followed his career as an Environmental Scientist for the New Johannesburg Environmental Institute where he eventually became Assistant Director. Mohammed and Tashi's careers were going well and they had additions to the family, daughter Ayah and son Michael David. It was while he was at the Institute that he became interested in the environments of other planets and the effects those environments had on humans and how the altering of the native environment had on the planetary Ecco system. This prompted him to make a major decision in his life. To enter Starfleet Academy...at 31 years old, one of the oldest cadets at the Academy. His decision to join the Academy did not sit well with the indomitable Akeem. He wanted his son to remain out of Starfleet. He felt that service in Starfleet was beneath such a prominent family, even though it's prominence came from Starfleet. But a determined Mohammed joined and entered Starfleet.

While at the Academy he would meet Chris Reynolds, who would become one of his best friends. It was during a simulation called Red Contact, when Mohammed was named Captain of the mission. It was after he successfully commanded the mission with Chris Reynolds as his Second Officer that the bug of having his own command bit him. After graduating from the Academy he was assigned to the USS Galaxy as an Ensign in the Science Department. Tashi had wanted to come with him but Mohammed couldn't see uprooting his family to join him onboard a starship. So he left them behind as he prepared to see the universe.

Though he was in the science department and enjoying it, the desire to have his own command was encouraged after Captain Robert Edward Lee Price, "The General," used his ingenuity and a daring plan to obey Starfleet's order for him to fire upon another Federation vessel without destroying it thus allowing her to complete her desperate mission to find a cure for the infected crew. This prompted Mohammed to request and receive a transfer from Science to Operations as a departmental head.

Though he is enjoying his new career in Starfleet, he misses his family, especially his wife, who is now pregnant with their third child.

In 2375, during the heat of the Dominion War, Mohammed received a field promotion to the rank of Lieutenant junior grade while serving on board the USS Galaxy. Later that same year, he was promoted to Full Lieutenant and made Assistant Chief Operations Officer of the USS Galaxy.

He is a student of the ancient and now extinct Mobutu African tribe. He tries to incorporate the Mobutu heritage and dress into his everyday life. He wears traditional African garb when off duty. He is very religious though he keeps his religious practices to himself. feeling that one's religious beliefs are as sacred as one's relationship with God.

He has inherited his great-grandmother's love and appreciation of music and has a magnificent singing voice. He plays the trombone, trumpet and guitar but his most favorite instrument is the Vulcan harp and his most prized possession is his great-grandmother's Vulcan harp, which he plays and he alone.

Mohammed is a dedicated family man.
