By the late eighties, it was becoming evident that the need for a physical structure could not wait any longer. In the early 1990’s, a building on Olesen Drive, formerly owned by religious group, was purchased to establish the Islamic Center of Naperville. The rapid growth of Muslim Community in this area is dramatically evident during Ramadan, and the two Eid Prayers, when we are regularly forced to seek larger quarters elsewhere to accommodate the increasing numbers. Also, in recent years, we have started to have two sessions for Jumu’ah prayers and still, at most Fridays, our current facility is filled to capacity in at least one of the two sessions.
Things are quiet here. Check back later for updates from this community.
