Assalmu alaykum wa ramatullhi wa baraktuh,
After a rigorous process of interviewing and vetting multiple candidates, as well as consultation with our Imam, IACC is proud to announce our incoming resident scholar: Shaykh Chad Earl.

In addition, he has many years of experience serving the Muslim community in the US in various capacities. This background, along with his approachable manner and passion for Islamic learning and teaching, makes us confident in his ability to serve our community in an excellent capacity as resident scholar. May Allah bless Shaykh Chad in his new position, help him and his family during this transition, and bless this new chapter for our community. Ameen!
