Rec Center Phase 1 Timeline

Jamia Osmania Intro Video

The spark of realization that a Center was needed came from a Spiritual Retreat. Students at ICC, along with a lot of local youth, went to Michigan Islamic Institute, which had its own indoor basketball court. The bonding and enjoyment that took place on that court lead the students and locals alike to feel the need for their own center. Alhamdulillah, we started working on this project shortly after and received immense support. We hope to continue to empower the dreams of our community and our youth and complete this project soon. 

We thank our community for outpouring support in the completion of Phase 1 and we hope the same kind of commitments as we progress through Phase 2.

Alimah Program Admissions Open

Our institute was established in May 2017, as a center to produce future Muslim, American world leaders. We were initially operating in a local Masjid. However, within a year, our program, and in turn its needs, grew. We were in need of a larger physical space that aligned with our vision of an Islamic University in which pioneers of each science of Islam are produced. With the mercy of Allah, we found the place we were dreaming of, an ideal 20,000 sq. ft building with a plethora classrooms, a musalla, offices, a cafeteria, a beautiful atrium, six acres of land, and more than 200 parking spaces. We founded a sister organization named Islamic Center of Centerville (ICC) and purchased the building. In August of 2019, soon after moving our operations in this new home, located in the heart of the Centerville/Miamisburg area, we saw an extraordinary growth at an unexpected speed. There was a flood of people flocking to the center from all age groups. Therefore, within a span of six months we felt a need to build a 10,000 sq. ft gymnasium. This gymnasium fulfills the recreational needs of locals as well as our students. Alhamdulillah, phase one of our recreational center is complete. We have now started working on phase two. We are grateful to our local community for supporting the growth of this fountain of ilm.

About Us

We envision from the establishment of our humble institution a means for the youth to acquire a closeness with Allah through following the sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم and attaining the very valuable branches of sacred Islamic knowledge that follows a path up to the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم. To give them a sense of identity of who they are as Muslims and engender them to be leaders of their community where they will serve, lead, spread, and strengthen the Islamic identity of the coming generations.

Moulana Bilal

Teacher & Administrator

Maulana Ibrahim Raqeeb was born in Fairfax Virginia. His father was very concerned about his Islamic upbringing therefore his family moved to South Africa and then to Pakistan. 

He became a Hafiz of the Holy Quran at the age of 12 and pursued his basic Islamic Education. Thereafter he moved to Louisiana where he completed his high school. 

Maulana Ibrahim’s maternal grandfather was one of the first African American converts in America so he grew up in a household concerned about the guidance of the American people. He developed the desire to bring Islam to the American society and wanted to fulfill the dream of his father (who passed away رحمه الله ) so he enrolled in Jamiatul Hussnain in Indiana where he studied the Alamiyah course for five years. 

He completed courses in Arabic, Quranic sciences, jurisprudence etc and then went on to pursue further education in Pakistan where he enrolled in Jamiatul Hussnain and completed the six books of Ahadith under the great scholars like Maulana Tariq Jameel, Maulana Ubaidullah and Sheikh Ramzi. 

He received his Ijaza in Ahadith from many great scholars with the help of his mother who worked tirelessly to see her son become a great scholar of Islam. Hopefully his addition would be of great benefit for Osmania/ICC and the whole area.

Maulana Ismaael Iqbal was born in Colorado springs, Colorado and moved to Arlington, Texas as an infant where he grew up.

Therefore , He enrolled at Jamiatul Husanain in Indianapolis. With the grace of Allah he studied for 5 years covering from advanced Arabic literature to the  tafseer of  the Holy Quran ,Sciences of Hadith , Interfaith and comparative religion, Fiqh and Laws of Jurisprudence and Aqeedah.
