A home for prayer, learning and service in Jackson Heights

Located in the heart of one of the most highly populated Muslim areas in New York City, Jackson Heights Islamic Center strives to provide a strong sense of community. Through an ethics of solidarity and goodwill, we provide Youth Services, Tafseer classes, Arabic classes, Dawah groups and adult Quran classes, and reach out to Muslims and non-Muslims alike through charity work, volunteering and English classes.

Our vision

Jackson Heights Islamic Center is an initiative of Muslims in America dedicated to promoting Islamic awareness and facilitating the socio-economic welfare of the common people in Queens.

Our mission

To uphold the doctrine and principles of Islam; to provide an environment conducive to Islamic education, cultural enhancement and religious services; to introduce Islam, its culture and heritage to the community at large; and to enter into dialogue with other faiths to promote interfaith understanding.
