Our Mission Statement

The Oak Park Muslim Community (OPMC) is committed to building a strong and connected Muslim community by establishing a mosque and community center where Muslims from all backgrounds can come together and engage in meaningful worship. These efforts includes gathering for prayer, Islamic education, social activities and charitable initiatives.

Indoor gathering with people around tables covered with red and teal tablecloths, in a room with large windows, chandeliers, and brick and decorated walls.

Our Vision

We hope to achieve the following in our own mosque, with Allah’s (SWT) guidance:

  • A space for daily prayer, weekly Jummah, Taraweeh prayers

  • Quranic learnings and halaqas

  • Youth programming

  • Community gatherings, such as Iftar and Eid festivities

  • Community service projects such as aiding the unhoused and coat/food drives

Let us join together to build this community.

The first step in this direction is to financially commit to the cause.

Our
Objective

The Muslims in this area need a home we can go to for worship and to experience a sense of community.

Accessibility – There is no mosque in the local area where one can conveniently reach and attend prayer on time. In particular, Jumuah and Taraweeh prayers.

Community – Many of our families have a strong desire to see a mosque they can attend and grow with. This will create bonds for the children that will reinforce a positive Muslim identity.

Blessings for the Hereafter – The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him likewise in Paradise.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
