It is with deep sadness that the San Francisco Interfaith Council learned of the passing, late yesterday, of longtime interfaith pioneer and Past SFIC Board Member Imam Abu Qadir Al Amin.
According to Muslim tradition and rites, his Janazah, followed by burial, took place today, Friday, April 19, 2024 at 10:30 am, at Five Pillars Cemetery in Livermore, California.
Imam Abu Qadir Al Amin was the longtime Resident Imam for the San Francisco Muslim Community Center, an appointment he received in 1981, by the esteemed Muslim-American religious leader Imam W. Deen Mohamad. In this role he also served as Convenor of the Western Regional Imams from 1995-2010. Concurrently, he served as the Muslim Chaplain at the Federal Prison FCI Dublin, California, and worked at the Center for Juvenile and Criminal Justice as Program Director and Associate Director for 23 years.
