History

It was the first planned Islamic community in the United States. It was originally co-founded in 1979 by Nuridin Durkee, an American who had converted to Islam; Sahl Kabbani, a Saudi businessman; and Abdullah Omar Nasseef, a former secretary-general of the World Muslim League.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Kabbani reportedly contributed $125,000 to the non-profit Lama Foundation that was formed to create the community,Шаблон:Citation needed while the bulk of the start up funds were said to have come from the Riyadh Ladies’ Benevolent Association of Saudi Arabia,Шаблон:Citation needed and several daughters of the late Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.Шаблон:Sfn

The foundation purchased its first Шаблон:Convert site from Alva Simpson, a well-established rancher along the Chama, for $1,372,000. The land included the Шаблон:Convert mesa top, plus Шаблон:Convert below the mesa – a lush, fertile tract along the Chama River.Шаблон:Citation needed

At its height, the community served some 60 students, employed seven full-time teachers, and partially supported itself through resident entrepreneurial efforts. By 1990, however, the project was suffering from attrition. Although it never fully achieved its original intent as a residential community for American Muslims, it did succeed in remaining viable as an educational facility. Today it provides religious instruction, retreats and camps for its residents and other Muslims, as well as teaching workshops on Islam for public and private institutions.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
