Last Sunday, March 16, 2014- Imam Elahi reflected on the history of his friendship with the marhoom and admired his dedication, determination, services and his sacrifices for his faith, community
and country. Imam called late hajj Chuck a man of dignity, wisdom, courage, generosity, and honesty.
He admired the educational role of the marhoom in guiding the English speaking audience- in particular the youth. Doing so for decades before social networking and online communications such as Facebook and Youtube at a time when little English material about Islam was available.
Imam Elahi also admired marhoom hajj Khalil for his great contributions in the establishment of Islamic Center and Islamic House of Wisdom.
Other speakers who made great comments about hajj Khalil included: Hajja Najah Bazzi, hajj Adnan Cherri (the son of late, Imam Cherri) Hajj Ali Faiz, Imam Abdollah Amin, Eid Alawan, Rev. Lawrence, Raad Alawan,hajj Hamza Makki, shaikh Mohammad Dabogh, Shaikh Faisal Al-Kazemi and some other members of the congregation.
