 Building Mosques and community centers

 One of the best deeds in Islam to please God is to build a mosque if it is very small. Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said, "Whosoever builds a mosque (a place of worship) for God even if it is as small as the  breeding place of the sand grouse, God will build for him a house in Paradise." 

IICO has built hundreds of mosques all over the world in all continents to help Moslems practice their religion and preserve their Islamic identity.

Some of these mosques are part of  an integrate project or a community centers designed to provide social and cultural functions in addition to religious activities. 

These mosques and centers help preserve the culture and identity of the needy Moslems through providing a place for them to practice their social and religious functions, celebrate their cultural events, held meetings and conferences.
