The local cultural and Islamic communities paid their respects to a prominent Harlem figure on August 20 during the janaazah for Imam Umar Abdul-Jalil.
He had transitioned onto the ancestral realm three days earlier at his Bronx home. Mayor Eric Adams came and paid his respects.
He was known as “Boscoe” in the streets of Harlem prior to joining Temple No. 7 under the leadership of Minister Louis Farrakhan, and by the mid-’70s his spiritual journey led him to embrace Al-Islam, whereupon he took his shahadah in the mid-1970s. He was taken off the streets during the mid-’80s and incarcerated for several years in upstate New York where he also aligned with Imam Rasul Rafiq and continued to grow spiritually, as well as teach other young men who were embracing Islam.
Upon being released from prison during the early 1990s, he served as Imam on Riker’s Island, as well as other local correctional facilities. He also attended the Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood , and by 1999 he opened Masjidus Sabur at 119th Street, between 1st and 2nd Avenues, then moved on to Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. and 132nd Street, before founding up in the Bronx on 2975 Bainbridge Ave.
