The Islamic Society of Wichita, also known as Masjid Al-Noor, was built near the Wichita State University campus in 1983. A modest structure originally built to accommodate the students attending the nearby university, Masjid Al-Noor continues to serve Muslim students as well as many Muslims living nearby. Now, five thousand, strong and facing new challenges, Muslims of Wichita have embarked on proceeding with the second phase of the project, building a new Masjid and a support complex to accommodate the growing needs of the community.
