Alhamdulillah. Friday, May 20th, marked the official opening of The Islamic Center of Tennessee, a non-profit organization. Although, the official opening was one week delayed, but the outcome was great. The first Khutbah was delivered by Shekih Abdulrahman. Shekih Abdulrahman is a Muslim American who graduated from the Islamic University of Madina, he will also be graduating from Vanderbilt University with a Master in Religious studies. Soon after the Khutbah, refreshments were provided for the attendees.
The new Islamic Center of Tennessee was established to educate the Muslims and the non-Muslim about Islam. Their mission is to “provide resources for high quality Islamic education and creating an intellectually enriching environment founded on the principles of Islam as a complete way of life. In an age of many life challenges, ICT is committed to helping Muslims live a rich Islamic life and instill these values in the future generation of Muslims.”
The building for the new center was an old theater purchased on August 2010.
