Activities
There are various regular activities held at ICSD throughout the week. See the ICSD calendar for details. More information on some of the activities can be found below.
Saturday School
We hold a comprehensive Saturday school to provide our children with basic Islamic education. The subjects covered include Quran, Islamic Studies, and Arabic language instruction. The ages of the students range from four to fourteen. The school is held in two sessions due to the large number of students. The morning session is from 9:30am to 1:00pm and afternoon session is from 1:30pm to 4:30pm.

The women’s committee works on programming geared specifically toward women. The objectives and goals of the women’s committee are:
- To provide Islamic lectures in English and Arabic.
- To provide Quran memorization for beginning and advanced learners.
- To plan Quran memorization classes for young ladies ages 7 and up.
- To teach the Arabic language in both beginning and advanced levels.

Youth Group
The ICSD youth group is a wonderful opportunity for our youth to interact and participate in activities with fellow muslim youth. Please contact Imam Taha at the ICSD office for more information.
Lectures and Study Circles
We host a lecture every Friday evening, either after Isha prayer (in the winter) or between Maghrib and Isha (in the summer). The speakers and topics are varied and cover a number of topics. In addition, Shaikh Abduljalil Mezgouri holds a Wednesday night lecture specifically for the sisters.
