LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & FOUNDER, IIC
Assalamoalaikom Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
Islamic Information Center was established in 2002 (after 9/11) in response to the questions regarding Islam. By the Grace of ALLAH SUBHANA WA TA’ALA a 1.62 acre site (C_P_Zoned) on Russell Road directly across from the C terminal of McCarran International Airport was selected as a great location for a Masjid, Dawah Center and Islamic Information Center.
IIC’s property was purchased on April 11, 2007. The entire project including the land price of $995,000, and the construction is estimated to be about $2,000,000 USD. We need your help in generating funds to build the new Masjid. So far we have raised up to $601,296 USD. Construction plans include a Masjid (Masjid Al-Noor), a Hifz School (Al-Saliheen), IIC Early Childhood Development Center, a Youth Development Center, and a Muslim Community Center, the total Masjid area will be about 7,000 square feet that will include a Prayer Area, a Library, a Bookstore and will have ample parking.
