Mosque in Pittsburgh's historic North Side neighborhood
The "Light of the Age Rabat" was founded in August 2004 By our Shayhk Abu Alfa Muhammad Shareef bin Fareed and the Late Sultan Al Hajj Abu Bakr (Rahim Allah) as a religious and educational institution for the sole purpose of preserving Islamic scholarship and spiritual practices particularly the teachings of Islam in West Africa. Our main focus is reviving the Teachings of the Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him as it was taught by the Great West African Reviver Shayhk Uthman Dan Fodio also Known as Nur Uz Zamaan(Rahim Allah). Since then, the Rabat has helped facilitate the needs of the Muslim community within, and, outside the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania through the establishment of daily and congregational prayers, Islamic studies circles, and the maintenance of the "Sankore Institute of Islamic African studies public research library." Members of the Jamaat have also been involved in ongoing projects, both locally and nationally, whose aim is to develop sustainable communities through social outreach, coalition building, civic engagement, and the arts.
As a religious institution, The Light of the Age Rabat seeks to embody the universal tenets of Al-Islam as exemplified by all of the Prophets and messengers-including Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (Peace be Upon them All). We further believe that the Prophetic model provides us with a standard for human conduct that liberates the soul while giving us refuge against the spiritual and social ills that affect us all.
