| Alhamdu-lillah, the Islamic Foundation North has successfully completed its twentieth year of dedicated community service. The Islamic Foundation North was established in 1977, in the northern suburbs of Chicago, to fulfill the Muslim community's religious, social and cultural needs. The Foundation had a modest beginning - it started in the community center of the Naval Base in Great Lakes. As the community grew, it later moved into bigger rented facilities in Grays Lake. The Foundation's present rented facilities are located at the Masonic Temple in Libertyville. Since its inception, the Islamic Foundation North offered a wide spectrum of services to the Muslim community of Northern suburbs and South East Wisconsin, and presently, it acts as a conduit through which Muslim community spends well over fifty thousand dollars every year. Today, the Islamic Foundation North is one of the most active and leading Islamic centers in the Lake County, Illinois and South East Wisconsin. Islamic Foundation North is actively involved in interfaith dialogue with different religious groups including Christians and Jews to foster a better understanding between various ethnic groups. MILESTONES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICAL FACILITIESThe major milestones in the growth of Islamic foundation North are:In 1992, approximately 10 acres of land was purchased in Waukegan for the purpose of building our Mosque and Islamic Center. This center Inshah-Allah will include, a school, a library and meeting rooms. The foundation is greateful to everyone who have provided financial and other support in the past and we ask for their continued support in the future. May Allah accept their participation in this noble deed. SERVICES TO THE COMUNITYThe outstanding volunteer work and financial support by the community members enabled the foundation to offer an array of services. |
