  • AAIC is a Registered 501(c)(3), EIN: 41-1978929.

Over ten years ago, the volunteers and team of the Abu Bakr Islamic As-Saddique Islamic Center [AAIC] endeavored tirelessly upon a multi-phase expansion and renovation project with the goal of revamping and updating our masjids’ facilities to match the needs of our ever-growing Muslim community.

As things stand, after much deliberation, the City of Minneapolis approved the 40,000 square feet expansion plan.

Excavations and demolition of the old building have been done. Construction and renovation are currently underway.

WAlhumdulillah! As of now, we are nearing the completion of the third and final phase of our expansion project. 

Like many in our community, we are focused on the future of the AAIC. Which is not just a masjid but a multi-purpose center aimed at building and cultivating a future for our current and future youth and their legacy.

Though we are close to this goal, we are not done. And the appeal is urgent. 

Can your brothers and sisters in the Twin Cities count on you, fellow Ummah of RasulAllah (ﷺ)?

ABOUT US AND OUR HISTORY - 22 YEARS OF EXCEPTIONAL GROWTH:

The Abubakar As-Saddique Islamic Center [AAIC], located at the heart of the Twin Cities, not only serves as a central place of worship for a sizeable Muslim community but also as a multi-purpose community center. The center itself was founded in 1998.

Across the AAIC is a bustling shopping center, a Halal market and bazaar, and many restaurants that cater to a diverse group of people. 

AAIC is approximately a 15-minute drive away from Downtown, Uptown and the Minneapolis-St Paul International airport. AAIC is also in close proximity to nearby lakes, parks, and recreational centers.

Local community scholars and vibrant community leaders started the AAIC with the help of Allah and support from the Muslim community to help meet the religious and cultural needs and demands in the Twin Cities Metro area. Collecting initial funds and search of the site lasted six years before the site was purchased on July 29, 2006.

The center currently sits on a massive 95000 square feet of land. 

As mentioned before, roughly 40000 square feet of the space is NOT utilized despite the huge need of the community for such space, to reduce the overcrowded classrooms and develop more opportunities for youth and families.

After the initial purchase of the property, the AAIC committee had a 3-phase renovation plan. 

Phases I and II saw the construction of the prayer hall and school classrooms on the 2nd floor. These were completed in 2009.

Our Services

We are blessed, by the grace of Allah, to have a host of existing services which cater to our diverse community and its needs. 

On top of being a dedicated masjid with daily prayers, weekly Jumm’ah, Tarawih and ‘Eid prayers led by our esteemed local imams, our existing programs include:

  • Marital counselling, mental health and community financial support services.
  • ​Matrimonial and matchmaking services
  • ​Ma’had Institute - A full-fledged and dedicated Islamic institute starting from elementary school and well into a bachelors, graduate and post-graduate level.
  • ​Ta’leem, tamhid and tahfeedh (Qur’anic memorization) and Islamic studies weekend programs and schooling focused on teaching children the Qur’an, Islamic creed, Shafi’i Fiqh, and the Prophetic Seerah
  • ​American Sign-Language Classes - 6 years since launch, focused on making Islam and the learning of the Qur’an more accessible for the hearing impaired. More than 20 students are currently enrolled, learning at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level. 

Insha’Allah, Phase III will include:

  • A high school gymnasium
  • ​A dedicated K-12 school facility
  • ​Additional classroom and office spaces
  • ​Facilities for the ASL program
  • ​A Darul Qur’an and Islamic studies facility
  • ​An overflow prayer area to control overcrowding
How you can help?

AAIC owes its success to Allah ‘Azza Wa Jal as well as the tireless efforts of its members and volunteers. 

From the AAIC leaders and visionaries who left their day jobs to serve and guide the community.

To the blessed mothers and sisters who labored to cook and sell homemade meals to fund the project. 

From our inspiring local Imams who moved us into action with their riveting sermons. 

To the volunteers who walked miles on knocking doors and setting up events to support the project.

And lastly, to the donors, locally and abroad, who have donated to us and made our current situation possible.

And though we are close to our dream and our goal for the Ummah of Muslimeen in Minneapolis, we are not done.

This Ramadhan, we hope that you will help us complete Phase 3 of this construction project. 

This is an urgent community appeal. It may feel like a daunting amount. But are confident in the generosity of our brothers and sisters.

This Ramadhan could be the year of immense and bountiful reward. This could be the means of your palace in Jannah.

Our Beloved Prophet (ﷺ) said:

“Whoever builds a mosque, desiring thereby Allah’s pleasure, Allah builds for him the like of it in paradise.” - [Bukhari]

Please donate now. And donate generously. For the seeds of our future.

And for the future of this Ummah in North America.
