MCB was founded to provide a dedicated space for the Muslim community in Bethlehem and surrounding areas, who previously had to travel at least 20 minutes for congregational prayer. The center follows the concept of Mizan (balance), striving to foster a balanced approach to life—societally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. It emphasizes equal representation regardless of race or social status and aims to build bridges with the non-Muslim community through positive engagement and outreach.
