World Religions in Greater Boston: Home

The ISBCC is the largest Islamic center in New England, and the second largest on the East Coast. The 70,000 square foot building stands tall on Malcolm X Boulevard in the heart of Boston, an Islamic contribution to the city skyline. The ISBCC is not just a mosque, but also an elementary school serving grades 1-3, an interfaith center, an exhibition space, and a morgue. Plans to construct a library and full elementary school are also currently in development. Every Muslim neighborhood in the greater Boston area has had a hand in its construction, and its leadership reflects the full diversity of the community.

The Islamic Institute of Boston was founded in 2002 by Imam Talal Eid as a research institute to deal with community growing needs in areas of divorce, marital disputes, inheritance, and custody of children. In 2005 it was expanded to serve the Muslim community at large, including fostering a better understanding between Muslims and other communities.

The primary mission of the Islamic Center of Boston is to provide a focus of activities for Muslims living in the Greater Boston area in order for them to organize the religious, educational, and social life of their community in light of the Islamic teachings and traditions. It enables them to make positive, effective, and organized contributions towards the well being and enhancement of the social and cultural environment in which they live. An additional goal of the Islamic Center is to act as an information resource by providing an understanding of Islam as a faith, as a religion, and as a way of life, and by striving to create an awareness of the Islamic point of view on issues of contemporary relevance. In its workings it has been organized as a democratic association of equals; it does not entertain distinctions based on race, color, ethnicity, sectarian affinities, countries of origin and financial standing of its members.

The A. I. C. P. was established to implement the teachings of Islam as per the guidance of the Qur’an. The belief and practice of the A. I. C. P. worldwide is that of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama^ah, those who adhere to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam. The most important objective of the A. I. C. P. is to spread the correct knowledge of the Religion—teaching Muslims and non-Muslims about Islam—by spreading the Islamic Obligatory Knowledge and supporting it with clear evidence. The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: which means: "The best of the deeds is the belief in Allah and His Messenger." (al-Bukhariyy) In accordance with this, the A. I. C. P. emphasizes teaching Tawhid, the Islamic knowledge by which one would know what is and what is not proper to attribute to Allah and His Messenger. The A. I. C. P. is a voice of moderation, striving to rid the Muslim community of the vile innovations and prevailing deviations—the proponents of which call for terrorism and violence. The A. I. C. P. does not compromise its stand against those who try to deviate the Muslims from the belief of the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, his Companions, and the subsequent Muslim generations known as Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama^ah. The A. I. C. P. set its objectives with the realization that victory over evil can only be achieved by spreading religious education and propagating goodness among people—knowing that society can only be reformed through piety and fear of Allah (the Creator). The A. I. C. P. urges Muslims to help each other and share responsibilities, such as encouraging the wealthy to console and relieve the poor—whether Muslims or non-Muslims.The A. I. C. P. urges all Muslims to provide for the needs of the hungry, orphans, and needy, as well as to correct one’s self, family, and society in accordance with Islam. It was said by a prominent American official about the society in America, that "Our problems are beyond government’s reach. They are rooted in the loss of values." Islam provides the values that, if implemented, can resolve the societal problems many nations are facing today.
