After 13 years of construction and unplanned setbacks, the Memphis Islamic Center has finally opened. Sh. Yasir Qadhi, one of the most renown western Islamic scholars in the world was the first resident scholar of this community from 2009 to 2019. The community also came together to commemorate the life of Sr. Naseem Khan, may Allah be pleased with her, who passed the same week of the grand opening of the masjid that she was instrumental in establishing. The Memphis Islamic Center is one of the largest masjids in America at 65k Sq. ft. sitting on 35 acres of land.
