Islamic Center of Puget Sound (ICOPS) Masjid is a 501(c3) Non-profit and registered with the State of Washington.
About Us
As our community continues to grow, the demand for a place of worship and services such as "Quranic studies" was becoming an essential need. And as many in the community ponder the future of our kids growing up without a solid Islamic religious education, it makes one wonder how our community would look like in the next decades to come.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Islamic Center is to establish a mosque that serves as a catalyst in enriching the spiritual growth of an active, diverse and united community based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), through religious, social and educational programs.
Objective
Our overall Objective is to construct a new building or buy an existing building that we could use as a Mosque for the daily prayers; a class room to teach our kids the Holy Quran as well as other aspects of our "Deen" such as how to perform prayers etc., as well as house a playground for the kids. Our aim is to help empower our community members with spiritual education.
Our Vision
To accommodate room for about 400 worshipper’s men and women during Jummuah and other Salat times, with more than 100 parking spaces to use at any given time.
We hope to conduct Nikah (Weeding Ceremony).
We hope to provide room for the community’s use for Aqiqah (Naming Ceremony).
