The Muslim community in the Northeast Valley is actively pursuing the establishment of an Islamic Center in the Scottsdale area of Arizona. The objectives of the center are the following:

Provide religious and social services to all Muslims, render help to any person of similar persuasion in adapting to the Islamic culture and provide channels of understanding and communication between Muslims and the Arizona Community in general.

Organize activities and provide opportunities for the spiritual training of its members in accordance with the teachings of Quran and the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

In September of 1998, the Muslim families living or working in the Northeast Valley got together to discuss the possibility of building an Islamic Center for this community. This energetic and enthusiastic group continue to meet week after week to plan and discuss progress of this noble project.
