The NWIC was established in 2002 with the goal to serve the Muslim community of St. Louis, especially in North St. Louis County.

5 acres of land was purchased in October 2003 and the Masjid construction completed in October 2006. Prior to that Jumah Prayers were held at a rented location until October of 2006.

Current Status

Since the completion NWIC has been hosting 5 daily congregational prayers, Jumah congregational prayers, Sunday School / Madrassa, Brothers' & Sisters' Halaqa, Taraweeh Prayers in Ramadan, Show Regional Charities, Daily community Iftar in Ramadan and Eid Prayers. Since April 2009 we had the privilege of nominating full-time Imam Abdul Wajid for the masjid. Future activities include Summer program for the youth and Regional charities.

The current building is 3600 sq. ft. and can accomodate 250 people and has 84 parking spaces.

Proposed Expansion

As the attendance at Jumah Prayers exceeds our current capacity even after 2 Jamat we are currently work hard towards expansion of the masjid. The expansion plan includes Multipurpose structure:

• Adding 4080 square feet of building to include but not limited to
  • Prayer hall
  • Weekend school / madrassa
  • Social and religious activities
  • Kitchen
  • Storage Areas
• Increase parking capacity to 208 spaces

Estimated Expansion Costs
