Our story
Serving Jackson Heights since 2001
Jackson Heights Islamic Center & Mosque was established in 2001 with the help of the local Muslim community and many generous donors. 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.
All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin. The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way.
