Islamic Center of America

The Islamic Center of America is a mosque in Dearborn, Michigan, and ranks among the largest Muslim houses of worship in North America. The building features a golden dome above the main prayer space and two slender minarets that mark the skyline from a distance.

The congregation first gathered in 1963 at an earlier site and moved into the current building in 2005, designed to accommodate the growing Muslim population of the region. The new construction arose on a larger plot and provided space for additional educational and community activities.

The center provides Islamic education programs, Arabic language classes, and interfaith dialogues while serving the substantial Lebanese American population in Dearborn.

Visitors can explore the entrance hall and courtyard outside prayer times, while the prayer rooms are reserved for worshippers during the five daily prayer services. Those wishing to see the interior spaces should ask in advance and dress modestly.

Doors from Turkey, wood carvings from the Philippines, granite slabs from India and Brazil, and chandeliers from Egypt give the interior an international character. This variety reflects the global connections of the Muslim community.
