Imam Johari Abdul Majid
A 21st Century Imam
An American Imam
This is an
enterprise piece capturing a day in the life of an American Imam.
Imam Johari
from Falls Church VA is also known as a 21st century Imam. Besides
being a graduate of Chemistry and Genetics from Howard University, he is a
scholar, an activist, a humanitarian, a Chaplain, a social worker, a community
leader, a musician and an avid golfer.
He says Golf reminds him of Paradise and in these trying times for Muslims; it gives him piece of mind. Imam Johari is also teaching Introduction to Islam at Northern Virginia community college and emphasizes on the role and importance of education.
Community members say that without Imam Johari it would’ve been difficult for them to deal with issues like domestic violence within Muslim families in America because the Imam talks to the people like a brother, a father, a son and most important of all, as a friend.
