Belief. Ibadah. Community.
Muslim Community of Fairbanks
We Represent the Muslim Community of Fairbanks
The Muslim Community of Fairbanks is established upon Islamic foundations and strives to serve its community through programming, advocacy, and its affiliated projects.
Programs & Activities
Prayers
Currently we offer Friday (Jummah) prayer at this temporary location, at 2 PM. Once our permanent place (mosque) is established, five daily prayers (Fajr, Dhur, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha) will be offered at the mosque.
Islam Awareness/Dawah
To spread the peaceful message of Islam, MCF is dedicated to engaging in meaningful dialogue with our neighbors and local non-Muslim community members. MCF can provide the materials and the resources to enrich knowledge about Islam and eliminate the misunderstanding about Muslims and Islam.
Zakaat/Fitrah
In collaboration with the local mosque, MCF can process and distribute different forms of financial aid (i.e., Zakat and Fitrah) to qualified candidates.
Religious Education
Upon the establishment of our mosque, we plan to start regular Sunday and Summer Religious schools for kids and young Muslims. The objectives of these programs will include:
1. Create a Muslim identity for our children and nurture it.
2. Provide a basic understanding of the five pillars of Islam and the pillars of faith.
3. To teach students Arabic so they can understand the Quran.
4. Educate students about Islamic principles, etiquette, and moral strength.
5. Give guidance on using prophetic examples as models to follow.
Ramadan and Festivals
MCF organizes iftars and Taraweeh prayers during Ramadan. MCF also organizes two yearly Eid Prayers and celebrates these occasions in an Islamic manner
Funerary Services
In collaboration with the local funeral authority, MCF coordinates the Janazah prayers of the local Muslim community.
Mosque Construction Project
Fairbanks is the second most populous city in Alaska. Muslims have been living here for a long time without having a place to worship (Mosque). MCF has taken the initiative to build the first northernmost mosque in the North American region. Currently, we are looking for suitable land for the mosque, and we hope to begin construction this year. The initial budget for our project is $500,000. Our organization relies on your donations and contributions (Sadaqah Jariyah). We appreciate any amount you can make and encourage you to pass the word to your friends and relatives.
