- "Imam has many interests, Indiana. Priest. Scholar. Astronomer. If anyone can can explain the markings, he can."
- ―Sallah el-Kahir[src]
Imam was an old man who lived on the outskirts of Cairo in Egypt.
An acquaintance of Sallah el-Kahir, Sallah believed that Imam would be able to translate the markings on the Headpiece to the Staff of Ra for Indiana Jones in his search to acquire the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis in 1936 due to Imam's talents as priest, scholar, and an astronomer[1].
It was Imam who revealed the medallion held further instructions on its reverse side, integral to calculating the precise location of the Ark on Tanis' Map Room floor[2].
Abu was training under Imam as his apprentice[1].
Behind the scenes
Imam was played by Tutte Lemkow in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
In Islam, an imam is a leader of a mosque and/or community who leads prayer during gatherings.
