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.
At the heart of Islam is belief in one God — the Creator, the Sustainer, and the One worthy of worship.
Muslims believe that God sent guidance through prophets and messengers, and that the Qur'an is the final revealed scripture.
Muslims pray throughout the day, return to God in remembrance, and gather as a community for worship.
Islam connects worship with character: honesty, generosity, family responsibility, patience, justice, forgiveness, and care for others.
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.

Charlotte's first Muslim community center — a welcoming home for prayer, learning, service, and community for more than three decades.
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.
ICC began with local Muslims working together to establish a permanent place for prayer and community life.
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.
The organization adopted the name Islamic Center of Charlotte, reflecting its growing role as a center for worship, education, service, and community connection.
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.
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.
Join ICC for prayer, visit the masjid, attend a program, or simply stop by and get to know the community.
ICC's imams serve the community through prayer, teaching, Qur'an instruction, khutbahs, and guidance for individuals and families.
Sheikh Bassam Obeid has served the Islamic Center of Charlotte and the Charlotte Muslim community for more than two decades. At ICC, he leads prayers and khutbahs, teaches Qur'an and Islamic studies, and provides religious guidance to individuals and families.
His teaching at ICC includes Seerah, Fiqh, Tafseer, Hadith, Q&A, and Qur'an studies. He studied Sharia at the Islamic University of Madinah, continued graduate study in Islamic Studies, and holds ijazah and sanad in Qur'anic recitation with Tajweed.
Imam Ahmed Mostafa serves the ICC community through Qur'an instruction, weekly classes, khutbahs, and religious guidance. Much of his teaching focuses on helping people improve their Qur'an recitation and build a stronger understanding of the Qur'an.
His classes at ICC include Qur'an recitation, Tajweed, Hifz, Tadabbur, and other Islamic studies, with programs designed for community members at different levels of learning.
