About the Islamic Foundation
Islamic Foundation was formed in 1974, as a non-profit organization under the laws of the State of Illinois, to serve the Muslim communities in the western suburbs of Chicago. The objective was to establish and maintain facilities for the practice of Islam, for educational and social activities in accordance with the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah, and also to present Islam to people of other faiths.
Our goal at Islamic Foundation is to fulfill the spiritual, educational, and social needs of the entire family for the Muslim community in the greater Chicagoland area. The Islamic Foundation operates multiple institutions and programs on the premises including a Mosque, Islamic Foundation School (full-time school from preschool to grade 12), Sacred Link (Hifz) program, and Weekend Schools (Saturday and Sunday).
We embarked on our mission in 1975 with a weekend Islamic school in a rented facility with an initial enrollment of 36 students. In 1981, Islamic Foundation got the permit to establish a permanent building facility in Villa Park, Illinois and two years later, Islamic Foundation purchased a former public-school building and an adjacent house to setup the facility that is now our Islamic Foundation campus.
