About Us
Our community is lead by Imam Shahid. Shaikh Shahid is a graduate of traditional Islamic learning from India following Sunni Islam and Ahle Sunnah wal Jamaat. He has memorized The Holy Quran. His studies include Arabic Language, Urdu and Farsi, Tafseer (Quranic Exegisis), Hadith and methodology of Hadith Litereature, Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence), Aqidah (Prinicples of Islamic Faith/Belief), Seerah (Prophetic Life) of Muhammad Ibn Abdullah ( صلى الله عليه وسلم ), and Tareekh (Islamic History).
Our Mission
Our focus is to provide a place to pray in congregation and allow the community to get to know one another. Through our Imam (religious leader), we provide learning for those who want to learn to read The Holy Quran, counseling services for parents and children as well as spouses according to religious values and teachings, funeral services arrangement via other local centers and counseling the bereaved.
The neighborhood location allows us to reach out to other residents of differing faiths for open dialogue. Our Imam has been involved with numerous Inter-Faith conferences with Central Jersey Pastors and Rabbis for the purposes of knowing each other. This, in the principle, as God mentions in The Holy Quran and The Old Testament, “We have made you into Nations and Tribes so that you may know one another,” i.e.: reflect about oneself and one’ relationship to others and to the creator of all things.
