An Introduction to North Durham Masjid in North Carolina HD

http:www.NDIA.US Thousands of Muslims from all over the world and from all parts of the U.S. have made the Triangle Area of NC their new home. The growing Muslim population has established several mosques in Raleigh, Chapel Hill and Durham near the university centers. This organic growth has left key areas of the Triangle lacking mosques within a reasonable walking or driving distance. Keeping pace with the growth of Muslim community in the Triangle, a masjid in the North Durham area became a necessity, that would be accessible not only to North Durham but also to communities in nearby Roxboro, Rougmont and Creedmoor. Seven years ago, several Muslim community members recognized that need and began planning the establishment of the North Durham Masjid. Using resources garnered by the ISCC, or the Islamic Society of Central Carolina, the North Durham Masjid was founded at its current location of 2609 W Carver St, Durham NC 27705 in time for full fledged activities in 2011, and the first Jumah in July of 2011. The North Durham Masjid has already reached many goals such as establishing the five salahts in the Musala, community dinners, weekend school for children and monthly lectures. Additionally, ESL classes, Arabic classes, and Quran memorization classes have been offered. Plans for an adjacent playground are underway, with the initial building phases currently underway. Future plans include establishing an after-school program tailored to accommodate working parents, and a language institute certified in the Arabic language. The leaders of the North Durham Masjid envision it as a comprehensive community center fully serving both spiritual and practical needs of the Muslim community, while creating outreach to embrace the larger community of Muslims and non-Muslims. All of this and more is in development to serve your needs. To enhance these programs, your support is vital.
