During the early 1980’s international students from countries like Morocco and Indonesia first began arriving at KSU.

By the grace of Allah the Muslim community took an active role in helping establish the first masjid ever built in Manhattan. On July 2, 1982 the Muslim community was able to acquire a two-story house at the corner of Sunset and Anderson, which they renovated and converted into a Masjid.
