About CICC
Education, charity and human excellence.
The Cincinnati Islamic Community Center works toward one vision: to establish and maintain a model Muslim community life. We follow the teaching of Imam W. Deen Mohammed, who called on Muslims in America to build community life where they live, with our own masjids, schools and businesses, in neighborhoods we help care for.
Today that work happens across two former school buildings on 4.3 acres in Westwood, which we are turning into a place of worship, business, care and growth for the whole neighborhood.

Charity
Our food pantry has served Westwood neighbors since 2006, whatever their race, gender or religion. Families choose their own groceries, so help never costs anyone their dignity.
Human excellence
Real unity starts with real participation. Young ideas and elder insight work side by side on the future of the Westside.
وَٱعْتَصِمُوا۟ بِحَبْلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا۟
“And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided.”
Qur'an 3:103
