A Simple Introduction

What is Islam?

Islam is a faith centered on worshipping one God, following His guidance, and living with faith, mercy, responsibility, and purpose.

This page is designed as a short journey. Scroll slowly.

The Foundation

One God.

At the heart of Islam is belief in one God — the Creator, the Sustainer, and the One worthy of worship.

Guidance

Revelation and the Qur'an.

Muslims believe that God sent guidance through prophets and messengers, and that the Qur'an is the final revealed scripture.

Worship

Prayer creates rhythm.

Muslims pray throughout the day, return to God in remembrance, and gather as a community for worship.

Daily Life

Faith is meant to be lived.

Islam connects worship with character: honesty, generosity, family responsibility, patience, justice, forgiveness, and care for others.

Community

Questions are welcome.

You do not need to know anything about Islam before visiting ICC. If you are curious, learning, or simply want to meet Muslims in Charlotte, you are welcome to come by and ask.

About the Islamic Center of Charlotte

Charlotte's first Muslim community center — a welcoming home for prayer, learning, service, and community for more than three decades.

Visit ICC

Our Story

A community built on faith, family, and service.

The Islamic Center of Charlotte began in 1988, originally as the Islamic Society of Masjid Al-Islam. At a time when Charlotte's Muslim community had very few dedicated spaces for worship, local Muslims came together to establish a permanent home for prayer, learning, and community life.

The community converted a former church at 1700 Progress Lane into a mosque. In 1992, the organization adopted the name Islamic Center of Charlotte — the name our community knows today.

Since then, ICC has grown into a spiritual, educational, and cultural home serving Muslims across Charlotte while also welcoming neighbors, visitors, people learning about Islam, and anyone looking for a peaceful place to connect.

You are welcome here. Whether you have lived in Charlotte for years, recently moved to the area, are new to Islam, or are simply visiting and learning, ICC welcomes you to come in, meet the community, and experience the masjid.

Our History

Part of Charlotte's Muslim community since 1988.

ICC began with local Muslims working together to establish a permanent place for prayer and community life.

1988

A permanent Muslim community center

ICC was established as the Islamic Society of Masjid Al-Islam, becoming Charlotte's first Muslim community center and creating a dedicated place for worship and community life.

1992

The Islamic Center of Charlotte

The organization adopted the name Islamic Center of Charlotte, reflecting its growing role as a center for worship, education, service, and community connection.

Today

Still growing with Charlotte

ICC continues to host daily prayers, Jumu'ah, Islamic learning, youth and family programs, community services, outreach, and support for Muslims and neighbors throughout the Charlotte area.

Life at ICC

A masjid that is part of everyday community life.

People come to ICC to pray, learn, spend time with family and friends, volunteer, ask for help, and stay connected to the Muslim community in Charlotte.

On a normal week, the masjid is active from the daily prayers through evening programs. Friday brings the community together for Jumu'ah, while Qur'an and Arabic classes, youth activities, family programs, and community events bring people back throughout the week.

ICC also serves people during important moments in their lives. Community members come to the masjid for marriage and family services, financial assistance, support when they are new to Islam, and help finding the right person or program when they are going through something difficult.

During Ramadan, Eid, special programs, and larger community gatherings, the masjid becomes especially busy. Volunteers help organize parking, food, guests, programs, and many of the small things that allow the community to function.

You will find people here for

Daily prayers & Jumu'ah Regular congregational worship and Friday prayer.

Qur'an, Arabic & Islamic learning Classes and programs for children, adults, and families.

Family & community services Marriage, counselling, financial assistance, and support for new Muslims.

Events & volunteering Community gatherings, youth programs, outreach, and opportunities to help.
