The Islamic Community Center of Phoenix moved into its present mosque (a former church) in 1997. Started by Muslim residents of the north valley in early 1980’s, 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 complete the first phase of a new, permanent structure at the location. The new mosque is designed to accommodate over 800 worshipers for Juma’a (Friday congregational) prayers. The mosque is open for daily Salat (Prayer) and serves about 600 attendants for Juma’a (Friday congregational) worship. The mosque also sponsors weekend study circles (Halaqah) on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Added on May 28, 2005 and last updated 7 years ago
