It was difficult to distinguish between visitors who came to visit Sheikh Hassan bin Ameir. Had they come to the Mufti to seek ‘fatwa’ for a ‘mushkel’ or had they come to exchange notes on the political climate in the country. Nyerere realised very early in his political career the power and respect commandeered by Mufti Sheikh Hassan bin Ameir and he never took any important decision without consulting him. A trying period for Sheikh Hassan bin Ameir was in 1958 when TANU was in preparation for the first general election ever to be conducted in Tanganyika.
Sheikh Hassan bin Ameir alianza kazi ya kusomesha kabla ya kujiunga na mahkama ya Kadhi, na alipokuwa anasomesha aliweka madrsa yake katika mtaa wa Misufini madrasa iliyokuwa ikijulikana kwa jina la “Madrasa el-Shirazi”, watu wengi walinufaika na madrasa hiyo, ingawa kwanza ilikuwa na wanafunzi wengi kutoka sehemu za kwao Makunduchi lakini kipindi kisichokuwa kirefu wanafunzi walikuwa wakifurika kutoka sehemu mbalimbali za Unguja, Pemba, Mrima na baadhi ya sehemu nyenginezo za maeneo ya Afrika Mashariki na kati kwenda kusoma kwa alimu huyu.
