Tragic Death of Imam Hassan Sharif of Newark

Dear JMIC's Family, Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmat ul Allah

We are very saddened about the tragic death of Imam Hassan Sharif of "Masjid Muhammad" in Newark.
Imam was shot early in the morning near the Masjid and later pronounced dead.  
"                Inna Lilahey Wa Inna Alaihey Rajeoon"
We pray four Imam, his family and Masjid Muhammad Community.  Law enforcement is still searching for the shooter and investigation is underway on the cause of the shooting. 
This message is not meant to instill fear, but we encourage our JMIC families especially parents, to remain vigilant.  Please ensure you physically drop off your children to QLI, Alphabetland and Sunday School.  If you observe any concerns or suspicious persons, do not hesitate to report it.

Alhumdolilah, we are not aware of any specific threats, but under the current environment, it's crucial for us to stay vigilant.
