The vision of the Prayer Center Trust is that the Muslim community in the greater Chicago area
enjoys multiple places of Worship and access to educational Islamic institutions to gain knowledge
and to practice their perfected religion in its most moderate form within their own community
without fear of discrimination or persecution.
The Prayer Center Trust is dedicated to materialize its vision by building Prayer Centers and
Islamic Educational Institutions within the American Muslim communities in the greater Chicago area.
To achieve this objective and to materialize its vision the Founder and the Board of Trustees of the
Prayer Center Trust will make decisions according to the best of their abilities as to where the
Centers and Institutions are located. They will focus on acquiring future Prayer Centers and Islamic
Educational Institutions through purchasing land or receiving donated parcels of land.
The Founder and the Board of Trustees will develop a focused education program and curriculum to
spread the knowledge of Islam in its true moderate way to the community and to the American
community at large. The program of Site Executive Committee will help the Prayer Center Trust
achieve its objective through creative educational and religious programs catered to a particular
site’s community needs without compromising the unity and the collective teamwork of the Prayer
Center Trust.
The Prayer Center Trust is a WAQIF; therefore, in accordance with Islamic principles the Founder and
Board of Trustees will seek the best, most qualified, most dedicated, and most committed members in
this community who share in their vision and agree with their mission to serve on the Board of
Trustees, or to serve on a particular site’s Executive Committee. Through the formation of the 500
Fortunate Donor Club, the Founder and Board of Trustees will identify those dedicated, committed,
qualified individuals in this community who recognize and appreciate that serving in the position as
Trustee or on the Executive Committee is a great responsibility, and not an honorary position.
