AbdulBary Yahya "Look at the state of the Ummah, someone like me who should be giving karate lessons, is teaching you about Islam" -AbdulBary Yahya
AbdulBary Yahya was born in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and very soon thereafter immigrated to the U.S. with his family. As the Quarter Back of his high school football team AbdulBary had dreams of being a pro foot ball player, but gave it up to pursue Islamic Knowledge at the University of Medinah. Upon graduation from the Islamic University of Madinah's College of Shariah, AbdulBary decided to go to Cambodia and later became a teacher and director of the Revival of Islamic Heritage Society. The school was popular in the community such that non-Muslim Cambodians would make their children Muslim in order to attend the school. He was also the director of the Umm al-Qura Charity Organization in Vietnam.
AbdulBary's hobbies include eating Vietnamese food, watching his two sons act like khateebs and sharing heart softening stories with others.
He presently resides in Seattle, WA with his family, and is an instructor with AlMaghrib Institute. He is currently the Imam of Masjid Jaamiul Muslimeen in Seattle, WA. He also holds the positions of President of the Cham Refugee Community and Vice-President of the Islamic Center of Washington State.
