The Mosque Foundation Community Mourns the Passing of Imam W. Deen Mohammed

 The Muslim community throughout the US and in the Mosque Foundation mourns the loss of a great American Muslim Leader, a courageous man, and relentless fighter for Justice and Truth, Imam W. Deen Mohammed.

 Imam Jamal Said, the Imam and Director of the Mosque Foundation said: (Today we have lost a dear brother and a great leader, May Allah bestow His Mercy to the soul of the Imam and to his family and followers everywhere)

 Imam W. Deen Mohammed will be missed by the Muslim community in Chicago. He is well respected by Muslims throughout the world and by all faith groups in the US. He was humble, sincere, warm hearted and true follower of the Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, and a servant of Islam.

 (The whole Muslim community in the US has lost a great leader today, we convey our deepest sympathy to the family of the Imam and his community, your loss is our loss) said Zaher Sahloul, the president of the Mosque Foundation.

The Mosque Foundation serves the spiritual, religious and communal needs of area Muslims by means of nurturing their faith, upholding their values, and fostering the wellbeing of the community around it through worship, charity, education, outreach, and civic engagement.
