Islamic Society of Baltimore |
|
Description: Also known as Masjid Al-Rahmah, The Islamic Society of Baltimore was established in 1969, where a handful of mainly immigrant Muslim families used to hold weekly meetings and Friday prayers at Johns Hopkins University. As the community grew there was a need for an established facility. In 1982, ISB purchased an 8-acre lot off Johnnycake Road in the western part of Baltimore County and built the Mosque (Masjid Al Rahmah). Several years later a housing complex was built next to the Masjid. Today, the compound also includes a fulltime school, a community hall, a kitchen, as well as a computer training facility. The ISB is in the process of developing a ‘Community Learning Center’ on the existing premises, which will be designed and constructed to provide training, classrooms and laboratories to conduct educational programs. This will include computer technology, language classes and many other courses to enhance social and economic benefits to the community at large. It will provide adequate space for lectures, seminars, conferences and community meetings. |

 I used to be a regular at ISB some years back. It is masha'allah a good multicultural community serving a wide range of Muslims. What I like about ISB is its lack of prentensions, which I guess goes with anybody who cares to live in Gotham City aka Baltimore. Or shall we say is forced to live in. Due to its prmoximity to DC, often celebrity guest speakers show up out of the blue. Like Dr. Israr Ahmed, Anwar al-Awlaki and many others.

 Large property with a Masjid and School. Very large community, diverse. Parking is very limited and the parking lot is basically one large paved lot that fills up quickly and then huge patches of grass and rocks.
