The Masjid Al Nour at ISOM is committed to providing the South Florida community with a pleasant and nurturing Islamic environment. Guiding the community, young and old, to build an integrated Muslim identity through Islamic teachings and encouraging them to uphold their Islamic heritage.
In addition, for the young, the Masjid Al Nour at ISOM strives to offer an Islamic environment that is conducive to the academic, social, spiritual and physical growth of a child. Children excel in all aspects of their life when they grow up in a safe and nurturing environment.
Some of the services we currently offer include: Full-time Islamic School, Sunday Islamic School, Maktab program focusing on the teaching of the recitation and memorization of the Quran, a Food Pantry, a youth program, a sisters program, Nikah (matrimonial services), a program for new muslims, counseling, and others.
ISOM does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, age, marital status, veteran’s status, nationality, or disability. Behavior which may be construed to be racial, sexual, ethnic, or religious harassment will not be tolerated. Such misconduct can draw disciplinary action including termination. Legally, employees must be at least 18 years of age to be eligible to work at ISOM.
ISOM is a full-time Islamic School and its doors are open to all students regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion. We live in a pluralistic society and firmly believe in practicing tolerance.
Our belief is based on the command of Allah (swt) when He says:
“O Mankind! We have created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know each other…..” (40:13)
We seek your support, as parents, with prayers to Allah (swt) to make our joint efforts successful in raising generations of Muslims that follow in the footsteps of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his companions.
Masjid Al Nour at ISOM traces its beginnings to the mid-1980s, when a small group of dedicated brothers and sisters sought to provide quality Islamic education for Muslim youth in South Miami-Dade. In 1985, two Muslim sisters opened a small school in a rented community hall. By 1989, Muslim educators launched a weekend school under the Institute for Islamic Education and Research at South Miami Middle School. Enrollment quickly grew to nearly 200 students, with a curriculum including Quranic Arabic, recitation, memorization, Seeratun Nabiyyi, and Islamic Studies.
As the Muslim population in the region expanded during the 1990s, the need for a more structured Islamic school became urgent. In 1994, Muslim educators from Florida International University and Miami-Dade Public Schools, in collaboration with the FIU Muslim Students Association, established ISOM. Classes began at FIU’s South Miami-Dade campus, and in 1995, ISOM was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, committed to nurturing faith, education, and community.
Our mission includes operating schools, an Islamic university, and a masjid to provide education, prayer, and activities rooted in Islam and Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’at principles.
In 2001, ISOM acquired a 4¼-acre property in West Miami-Dade, transforming its building—now the Tasnim Uddin Building—into a multipurpose center for prayer and education.”
