With deep sorrow and sadness the Islamic Center of Southern California announces the passing of our beloved Dr. Maher Hathout

Inna lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji'oon. To God we belong and to Him we will return.

Last night, the world lost a pioneer, visionary and a leader of the American Muslim community. Dr. Maher Hathout (1936-2015) was a leader for Islam and for humanity, a voice for the voiceless, a patriot, a poet, a physician, a friend, and a family man. He made an indelible impression on everyone he met.

 

The Islamic Center of Southern California family asks for prayers of patience and support for the Hathout family during this difficult time. Funeral services are scheduled for this Monday, Jan. 5, at 2 pm at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California. More information will be available at www.icsconline.org and www.mpac.org. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made either to the Islamic Center of Southern California or the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
