The new imam of a mosque near Glen Ellyn wants his community to know he's an approachable leader who's ready to reach out to others.
Mohammed Zafarullah says he's keeping an open-door policy at the Bait-ul-Jaamay Mosque for anyone interested in learning more about him or the Ahmadiyya Muslim community within Islam. The 59-year-old is easily reachable on Facebook. And he's already lining up meetings with other religious leaders and neighbors over coffee.
"I am ready to serve them," said the married father of four and grandfather of three.
Zafarullah most recently served as the imam of a mosque about 40 miles from Los Angeles, but his missionary duties covered Southern California and Las Vegas. His send-off last month drew lawmakers who issued a special congressional recognition in his honor and Buddhist leaders from the Compassionate Service Society who posted a farewell message on Facebook.
