Shahid Masjid (Mosque of The Witness), is an Islamic Community built on piety. "This is a Masjid whose foundation was laid from the first day of piety. It is more worthy of thy standing forth therein. In it are people who love to be purified and Allah loveth those who make themselves pure" (Holy Qur´an, Chapter 9, Verse 108).
Masjid Ash-Shaheed (Mosque of The Witness) is in affiliation with those Mosques and Islamic Centers who support the leadership, vision and commentary of Imam W. Deen Mohammed, leader of the largest group of indigenous Muslims.
The establishment of Masjid Ash-Shaheed is a result of cumulative efforts over several years. Many of the pioneering believers involved in this historic effort met in indexments, parks and homes to discuss topics on the Qur´an, Seerah (History) of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) and Hadith. During this time, there was no officially elected Imam (leader).
Group participation, led by designated believers, was the method used to facilitate meetings, m the early spring of 1989, the group formally organized under the name of Charlotte Masjid of Al-Islam and began holding meetings (Ta’aleem) every Sunday.
Initially, the meetings were held on a rotating basis in the homes of three families until the group leased the gymnasium of the Hidden Valley Elementary School. Meetings continued to be held there until we moved to our previous location on Tuckaseegee Road.
Imam Khalil A. Akbar was selected as the Resident Imam and under his leadership, the community has realized steady growth.
