This group began meeting in 2003 when they realized that a growing population of Muslims (roughly 250 families) were moving into the north eastern suburbs of Detroit and no masjids were nearby for them to worship in. After meeting in one another's homes, the group began renting space at St. George's Antiochain Orthodox Church in Troy and in a local UAW hall as well. They quickly moved to incorporate with the State of Michigan and to raise funds for the purchase of their center on Dequindre in Madison Heights. Unlike their neighbor in Warren, IONA, this community experienced no difficulties with zoning boards or city administrators. Their center opened in 2004 and includes a prayer space, classrooms, and a large meeting room that can be rented out for appropriate Islamic events and community weddings. They have provided Saturday Islamic education classes for young people since 2006. The congregation is predominantly Shia and Arab American.
