Description
The mosque is the spiritual base for many of the Valley of the Sun's 50,000 to 70,000 Muslims.[4] Many of the members of the congregation were originally refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.[5] In 2011, the mosque was completing a Шаблон:Convert building with a Шаблон:Convert minaret, one block south of and six times larger than its prior location, which according to its leaders made it the largest Islamic center in the Southwest.[5] During its construction, it was the target of vandalism.[6] The mosque includes an Islamic school.[7] On May 29, 2015, an anti-Muslim protest occurred outside the mosque in response to the attempted Curtis Culwell Center attack.[8]
Usama Shami is the President of the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix.[4] Sheikh Mahmoud Sulaiman, an Al-Azhar University graduate, has served as the imam of the mosque since 2002, prior to which he was imam at the Islamic Center of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[1]
