The center was first organized on April 26,1914 under the name of "The Bader Elmoneer Society of Michigan City". The founder and first president was Hussein Boudeeb Mohamed who was also the society's religious leader. In the early 1920's the Society purchased land that became the first ever Mosque built in the United States of America. The organization was then recognized as a non profit religious

society in May 15,1924 under the name Asser El Jadeed Arabian Islamic Society. The center remained until 1969 when the Michigan City Redevelopment Department purchased the building as part of the Michigan City Urban Renewal Program. On October 24,1969 the Asser El Jadeed Arabian Islamic Society reorganized under its present name, The Islamic Center of Michigan City. A relocation plan was completed and purchased in 1971, the existing building that we know today.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The days of the Hajj are most significant and great days in the Islamic calender. Those who got the opportunity to fulfil this high spiritual obligation to visit the house of Allah were fortunate .Those who didn't get such opportunity have some alternativ opportunities like the Day of Arafa .

The day of Arafa is actual Hajj . It has several highly recommended amaal that can place us among those who are present at the house of Allah. In order to avail that position and the rewards of the Hajj we will have Amaal at the Islamic Center on Tuseday May 26th starting with Zuhar and Asar .

NOTE: PERFORM GHUSAL ( ISLAMIC BATH) AT HOME AND REST OF THE AMAAL WILL BE PERFORMED AT MASJID IN SHA ALLAH.
