The Islamic Center of America was established in 1963 and serves the needs of Muslims in the greater Detroit area as well as throughout the country. The Center has a long and rich past that embodies the American Muslim community’s search, struggle and triumph to find a place to belong. The story begins in 1949, when Imam Jawad Chirri, a man who could not speak or understand English, came to America at the request of a small group of people who were yearning for Islamic guidance. It culminates as an Islamic Center that has become more than a place of worship — it is an institution and beacon for Islam in North America.
