Islamic Center of Irvine About ICOI
About the Islamic Center of Santa Ana The Islamic Center of Santa Ana’s (ICSA) was established by a dozen Muslim families who escaped from war-ravaged Vietnam and Laos and the killing fields of Cambodia to the U.S. in search of new lives and religious freedom in the early 1980. In the early days, it was known as the Indo-Chinese Muslim Refugee Association. After 35 years, the community yearned for a larger facility and parking spaces. After many years of searching, ICSA’s leadership finally bought an abandoned building located at 1610 E. 1 st Street, Santa Ana with a price tag of $2.6 million dollars.
Islamic Center of Irvine The Heart of the Community
After scraping every penny to raise $1 million from within the community to close the escrow in September 2016, community members transformed the beaten-up building into a beautiful masjid. Eight months later, ICSA opened its doors for Ramadan 2017.
ICOI has a thriving community and we have a bold vision for our community’s future. Alhamdulillah, we have secured on two new buildings for programming. We want Irvine to be the best place to raise a strong Muslim family in America.
