United Muslim Movement, Inc (UMM) opened its first Masjid on October 11, 1994 at 810 S. 15th Street in Philadelphia PA.  The Masjid was developed after a group of brothers approached Brother Kenny Gamble aka Luqman Abdul-Haqq of Philadelphia International Records recording fame about using a building in which to establish prayer.  The Masjid was filled to capacity at the first Friday prayer service.  In 1995, the Masjid was expanded into 808 S. 15th Street.  Although the capacity was doubled to hold about 350 people, the Masjid was filled to capacity at the first Friday prayer service after the expansion.  The Masjid has had to create a makeshift prayer area in the driveway and street outside behind the Masjid to accommodate those attending Friday prayer services.  In 1998 UMM merged with the International Muslim Brotherhood/Quba Institute.  This union brought about the construction of another Masjid at 4641 Lancaster Avenue.  The merger was later dissolved and the Masjid is now owned and operated by the International Muslim Brotherhood which has since been renamed Masjid Quba.
