New York's first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, swears on the Quran

Zohran Mamdani has become New York City's first Muslim mayor, taking the oath of office on the Quran during his inauguration ceremony. The historic moment marks a significant step for Muslim representation in American politics and reflects the city's great diversity.

Mamdani pledged to serve all New Yorkers, including all communities, regardless of their faith or background, and to work to improve daily life in the city.

The swearing-in ceremony was held in a solemn atmosphere, with Mamdani choosing to swear on the Quran, emphasizing the importance of his faith and cultural heritage.

Mamdani, 34, is a new figure on the city's political scene, but has gained widespread respect and support for his commitment to social issues and the rights of marginalized communities.

American political analysts see Mamdani's election as a strong signal of a changing political landscape and the increasing presence of new and diverse voices in power. For the Muslim community, this moment represents not only a symbolic victory, but also an opportunity to emphasize their participation and contribution to civic and political life.

The oath-taking ceremony on the Quran was attended by thousands of citizens and important political figures, making this event a historic moment that is expected to be remembered for years./CNA
