The Islamic Community Center of Phoenix (ICCP) moved into its present mosque (a former church) in 1997. Started by Muslim residents of the north Valley twenty-five years ago, the congregation has moved several times to keep pace with the steady growth of the community. | Dependent entirely on the donations of its members, the ICCP has managed to purchase land adjoining the present mosque and is planning a new, permanent structure at the location. The new mosque is designed to accommodate over 1,000 worshippers for Juma'a (Friday congregational) prayers. |  | The mosque is open for daily salat and for Friday congregational worship. The mosque also sponsors weekend study circles (halaqahs) on Fridays and Saturdays, teaching subjects such as: | 1. Pillars of Islam. 2. Tenets of Faith. 3. Qur'anic exegesis (tafsir). 4. Life of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) (Sirah). 5. The virtues of the Prophet Companions (Sahaabah). 6. Stories of the Prophets. 7. Fiqh and Islamic Laws, and more. |
