Florence Islamic Center

160 N. Edisto Drive, Florence SC 29501

Purpose

“Our mission is to acquire, establish, maintain and operate a masjid and community center for the muslim community of the Pee Dee region of South Carolina.”

The Holy Prophet (SAW) is quoted to have stated, 'Whoever built a mosque, Allah would build for him a similar place in Paradise.'
Sahih Bukhari vol. 1, Book 8, no. 441.

Our ultimate purpose in this project is to earn for ourselves and for all donors and contributors to this project, a place in heaven.

With the will of Allah, the proposed Florence Islamic Center will serve as a focal point for the muslim community of the Pee Dee area and beyond. The main purpose is to establish a masjid for men and women. It will also serve as a Sunday School where Quran and Tajweed Classes will be held. Additionally there will be Arabic classes for adults and children.

An adjunct Community Hall will serve as a multi-purpose function, gathering and meeting place. All of these activities will be organized and resourced by the local muslim community.
