The Year 2023 in Summary

Islamic Center of Chico has been blessed to achieve major projects and establish more community events and activities in the year 2023. By the grace and mercy of Allah (SWT), we installed a new parking lot in the rear of the masjid on a beautiful brick foundation. At the end of the parking lot is a playground with a jungle gym and slide for children to enjoy anytime they’d like. Special thanks to the teams and individuals that worked diligently and carefully to provide this need for the Chico masjid community and the funds to support.

In addition to the parking lot, we completely gutted and rennovated the masjid kitchen with brand new appliances, floors, lighting and storage.

We upgraded our website and adopted a fresh look with a manageable site for members to stay updated and current on masjid happenings. The new website has made it easier for out-of-town Muslims to learn of major events like Eid al-Fitr and prayer times. In addition to the website, ICC has made urgent news and reminders easy and accessible for community members by downloading WhatsApp for the community at large.

Over the Summer, we initiated the Weekend Islamic School teaching Arabic, Quran, and Islamic Studies for beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. With an increasing roster of 50+ students, the Islamic School adopts an organized and structured curriculum fashioned by our very own imam, Brother AbdoulHac Bande.

Education is still our top priority with brief 15 minute Fiqh classes every night after Isha, Tajweed classes for the brothers on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and the Community Friday Night Tafsir.

Our 2024 goals are to expand the masjid, rennovate the imam’s living quarters, develop more Islamic events and programs for different age groups and community needs, increase community volunteerism, and establish a dawah center for inquisitive minds in Chico. InshaAllah, we are granted success and support in these goals as much as we have in 2023.
