Dec 10, 2020
A graduate of Darul Uloom Zakariyya in Johannesburg, South Africa, Imam Mohammad “Yasir” Khan has been appointed the first ever chaplain of the California State Assembly in the United States.
California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon made the announcement on Monday.
The California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CA) says Khan is the first-ever Muslim chaplain appointed to the California Legislature, and potentially the first Muslim chaplain for any state legislature in the United States.
In an exclusive interview with Radio Islam on Thursday, Ml Khan says he is ecstatic by his appointment, but it was only with Allah’s permission that he achieved the post.
