Our History
Masjid Al-Islam, established in 1970, is dedicated to seeking the blessings of Allah (SWT) through the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and the example of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Imam Yusuf Abdullah served faithfully from 1977, representing Tennessee in the Southern Association of Masjids and Centers. Today, Imam Hamid Abdullah continues that tradition as Resident Imam.
