40+ YEARS OF DEDICATION

History of Islamic Center of Orlando
1980s – Over 40 years ago, in the 1980s, a small group of Muslims pioneers would gather in a house to perform their Jumu’ah (Friday prayers) in congregation.
1987 – The small group of Muslims purchased a parcel of land to build a Masjid.
1990 – The Construction of the Jama Masjid was complete.
2012 – Our current Masjid is overflowing every week on Friday and is in dire need of an expansion. We began the expansion project.
2017 – The construction began of the New Masijd.
2024 – After 7 years, the construction of the new masjid was completed Alhamdulilah.
The new masjid is the largest Masjid in central Florida and has the capacity to hold 3000 people, nearly triple our previous building.
The Islamic Center of Orlando is looked after by a team of volunteers. At the top, we have a board of trustees, beneath which we have 12 separate committees overlooking the needs of the community.
Our Future plans include a community center, high school, and sports complex.
May Allah (S) reward all our donors, patrons, and well-wishers that have allowed us to reach where we are today.
