"An Interview with Imam Abdul Karim Hasan, the Minister of L.A. Mosque #27 under the Hon. Elijah Muhammad"

In 1956 Imam Abdul Karim Hasan and his Mother and Family who were all a part of the Moorish Science Temple, heard the teachings of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad from Min. Malcolm X in Hartford Connecticut and soon after joined the Nation of Islam under then local Minister Thomas Jehad.

Karim Hasan quickly rose up through the NOI ranks from Private Soldier and matriculated through the positions of Lieutenant, Captain, Assistant Minister, and then became Minister of New Haven, CT Mosque # in 1959.

Abdul Karim Hasan was sent to Los Angeles in 1971 by the Hon. Elijah Muhammad as Minister of Temple # 27 and west coast Regional Representative, where he worked with Captain Edward (Ali Rasheed). Under his administration in the early 70s he  established a Your Supermarket / Bakery, a wholesale warehouse (10,000 Sq. Ft.), poultry and fish market and restaurants. All together his administration established 23 businesses and created employment for 400 community residents.

In 1975 he hosted the Afro–Asian Bazaar attracting over 10,000 people, including Mayor Bradley, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and a host of black Hollywood stars.

Today Imam Karim Hasan is a member of the American Society of Muslims under the late Imam W.D. Mohammed, and is currently the Imam of Masjid Felix Bilal in Los Angeles, and continues to work toward building an upstanding community catering to the needs and betterment of humanity.

Tune in as he gives the testimony of his history!
