Imam Omar Hazim
The Imam accepted Islam in 1962 and studied under the guidance of Elijah Muhammad.
The Imam has dedicated his time and energy to teaching and dispelling misconceptions about Islam.
In addition to his work at the Islamic Center he is also an Islamic advisor for the Department of Corrections.
He believes that all three faiths share many ideas and values. He noted that many of the perceived negative elements of Islam, like the repression of women, are cultural expressions and not part of the true faith.
Quranic Reading Daily
With Allah’s name The Merciful Benefactor, The Merciful Redeemer.
By Imam Omar Hazim
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the rejected enemy. If we want to talk to Allah we should pray, If we want Allah to talk to us we should read Quran. In Arabic, Quran means that which should be read, to proclaim or to collect. When we read the Quran we increase our knowledge and our understanding, and we are rewarded by Allah for doing so. The Holy Quran is the word of Allah (SWT), revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Prophet Muhammad said, “Anyone who reads one single letter from the Book of Allah will have a blessing and reward; and each good thing is equal to ten rewards.”
