The Islamic Center of Tucson (ICT) is an Islamic institution which was established in Tucson in 1966. It was found by a couple of students at the University of Arizona who felt the need to establish a mosque to serve as a place to gather for prayers and to fellowship with other Muslim students.
Until 1976, ICT did not have a headquarter. The members of ICT met at private houses or at certain reserved rooms at the the University of Arizona to perform prayers and conduct their religious activities. In 1976, ICT opened its first headquarter near the university at 1627 E. Second street.
In 1980, ICT witnessed a dramatic increase in its membership. This growth in membership was due to the flux of foreign Muslim students from all over the Muslim world to the University of Arizona. Due to the lack of space, the organization built a new headquarter which was built at a cost of approximately 1 million dollars. |
