Description
The Islamic Center of Cedar Rapids (ICCR) is a vibrant and welcoming mosque serving the spiritual, educational, and communal needs of local Muslims since 1965. The ICCR fosters a strong sense of faith and identity by providing a hub for worship, learning, and civic engagement. It is a place where generations connect, values are upheld, and the well-being of the wider Cedar Rapids community is promoted through charity and outreach.
KEY FEATURES
Comprehensive educational programs: The ICCR operates the Salaam Sunday School, founded in 1976, which offers a robust curriculum that includes Quran memorization, Arabic language learning, and Islamic studies. It also runs the ICCR Academy, a full-time school serving students from 1st to 12th grade.
Strong youth focus: The Youth Program cultivates confident, informed, and supported young leaders. It offers a safe space for youth to grow their faith and build strong bridges with their community.
Historical significance: While distinct from the Mother Mosque of America, the ICCR
is located in a city with one of the oldest Muslim communities in the nation. It was built as a replacement for the older mosque in 1965 to accommodate the community's growing size.
Dedicated community outreach: The mosque is actively engaged with the local Cedar Rapids community through charity events, interfaith dialogue, and civic participation.
Welcoming atmosphere: The ICCR is recognized for its warm, clean, and positive environment, with frequent community events like iftars during Ramadan that are open to congregants.
