History

The mosque was built to serve as the primary center for Islamic worship in the growing Ikorodu community. Over the decades, it has been a beacon for Islamic teachings, community gatherings, and fostering the religious education of its adherents. As Ikorodu expanded, the mosque adapted to accommodate the increase of more worshippers, reinforcing its role as a spiritual and cultural hub. The mosque is a vital member of the Ikorodu Muslim Community Association (IMCA), an umbrella organization that unites Islamic groups in the region. IMCA was established to promote unity, Islamic education, and community welfare. The mosque actively participates in initiatives aimed at poverty alleviation, educational development, and religious harmony. [2]
