Background:
Islamic Centre of South Calgary (ICSC) has been operating out of a small, rented facility in a Queensland strip-mall since 2004 (At that time name of society was South Musallah Society). It can only accommodate approximately 85 people at a time. The Muslim population has almost doubled since 2005. Therefore, this facility is inadequate to fulfil the needs of the Muslim community.
Muslim Community from South Calgary had aspired to build a facility of their own where they could offer daily prayers, hold Friday and Eid Prayer Congregations, youth could assemble and community could benefit from Halaqas, Quranic / Islamic Education, and other community and interfaith activities.
In 2009, ICSC acquired approximately ten acre of land with a property in SE Calgary with the intent to develop the Islamic Centre of South Calgary. The site is located at 16555 – 104th Street SE. The land was situated outside city and no area structure plan existed, hence no construction could be undertaken without rezoning approval.
No one knew at that time the long, stepwise journey ICSC community was embarking on to make this project a reality. Al-Hamdulillah, we have it rezones, with Development Permit and Building (Construction Permit) in hand as a result of persistent and tireless effort by the select team of people.
With help of Allah and community support, Early/enabling works was completed at the masjid site in early Fall 2022. The enabling works includes site clearing, grading, water retaining pond for fire hydrant system.
