ABout Ibrahim Abdul-Malik
Ibrahim Abdul-Malik, accepted Al-Islam in 1977, at the tender age of 19, in what was recognized as a Sunni Community on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
Born and raised in Williamsburg Virginia, he relocated to South Carolina after junior-college, in pursuit of an employment opportunity. Not long after arriving there, he met his wife of 39 years, Mumtahanah Abdul-Malik. The two of them ventured upon the path to understanding Al-Islam.
After several years of involvement with the community on Hilton Head, Ibrahim began attending the Savannah Mosque # 81, (which later became Masjid Jihad) and became involved with the community in any area that he had an applicable skill set. Ibrahim joined other workers in the community and did his best to help the community grow and progress. Imam Maajid Faheem ‘Ali would often call on Ibrahim to stand in for him on Fridays, etc. Ibrahim became Imam’s ‘Ali’s assistant.
