Donald Trump at Inauguration service - Imam goes off-script at Trump inaugural service

The imam was scheduled to give the "Islamic Call to Prayer" instead the Imam chose two passages from the Quran with clear political implications, especially at a time when many American Muslims feel marginalized and mistrusted. Addressing the capitol's power brokers, including Trump's family and Vice President Michael Pence, Magid read first in Arabic and then provided an English translation.

 The first verse he read was from Surah Al-Hujarat, in which God says:

 "O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made 
you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most 
noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you."

 The second verse he read was from Surah Ar-Rum:

 "And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the 
diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs 
for those who have knowledge."

The Imam reciting the Quran is: Imam Mohamed Hag Magid
