ISNP's History
Niagara's oldest Masjid - four decades of worship, learning, and service to the Niagara Muslim community.
Niagara Mosque was founded in 1984 by Dr. Fuad Sahin, Hassan Karachi (Allah yarhamhum), and the community coming together to create and support the beautiful Masjid we have now.
Operationally, our Masjid is a registered charity with a Board of Directors who are elected bi-annually. Niagara Mosque is a waqf that has been community-run and supported since its opening. Our annual AGMs review maintenance, treasury, and all sub-committee reports where all community members are welcomed to join, ask questions, and become involved.
Our goal is for all our congregants, and those who pass by to leave with a deep love of Allah ﷻ and his Rasul ﷺ.
The Prophet ﷺ told us, “Whoever revives my Sunnah then he has loved me. And whoever loves me, he shall be with me in Paradise.”
May we be among those with him in Jannah. Ameen.
