Our Story
From a small gathering to a thriving community
In 1998, a handful of local Muslim families came together with a simple dream: a place to pray, learn, and raise their children upon authentic Islam.
What began as modest weekly gatherings grew, by the grace of Allah, into a full community centre serving downtown Edmonton. Through dedication and sincere intention, the Downtown Islamic Association became a cornerstone for worship, education and welfare — always holding firm to the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as understood by the righteous predecessors.
In 2023, we proudly launched our dedicated Sahaba Youth Centre to invest in the next generation — ensuring our youth inherit not just a building, but a living legacy of faith.
