    A Vision Decades in the Making

    Over 37 years ago, SALAM Islamic Center was founded with a vision to create a space that serves the religious, educational, and social needs of Muslims in Northern California. 

    The Center for Higher Islamic Learning is a milestone in that journey — a space rooted in the Quranic supplication:

    “My Lord, increase me in knowledge.” 20:114 (وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا)

    It reflects our commitment to deeper learning, spiritual growth, and building a future grounded in faith.

    Phase III: A New Era for SALAM

    The Center is the cornerstone of Phase III of SALAM’s expansion. Located on the first floor, it complements the serenity of the masjid above, fostering a holistic environment of worship and learning. This dual-purpose space allows us to nurture spiritual growth while preparing the next generation for intellectual and societal contributions.

    A Future Built Together

    Every step of our journey has been powered by the unwavering support of our community. From the early days of construction to the programs that enrich lives today, your contributions have laid the foundation for all that we have achieved.
