Welcome to the Al-Haqq Islamic Center Website

This website was thoughtfully created to inspire both Muslim and non-Muslim visitors who seek a deeper understanding of the spiritual, intellectual, social, and cultural dimensions of Islam as experienced within the American urban community—particularly among indigenous Muslim African Americans.

Our journey reflects a unique spiritual heritage shaped by over 400 years of African American history, growth, struggle, and faith within America, including the transformative leadership and legacy of Imam Warith Deen Mohammed.

As you explore our website, you may notice that our voice, perspective, and presentation may differ from many other Islamic websites. That difference is intentional. Our mission is to share an authentic expression of Islam rooted in Qur’anic principles, American experience, cultural identity, and community development.

We invite you to explore, learn, reflect, and grow with us.

Welcome to Al-Haqq. Take the journey.

To understand the Muslim worldview, it is helpful to look at the six fundamental beliefs that every Muslim holds:

1. Oneness of God (Tawhid): Belief that there is only one God (Allah), who is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, with no partners or equals.
2. Angels: Belief in unseen beings who carry out God’s commandments, such as the Angel Gabriel.
3. Books of Revelation: Belief in the original scriptures revealed to prophets, including the Torah, the Psalms, and the Gospel. Muslims believe the Quran is the final, preserved word of God.
4. Prophets: Belief that God sent messengers to every nation to guide humanity. These include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, with Muhammad being the final messenger.
5. The Day of Judgment: Belief that every individual will be held accountable for their actions and intentions in this life.
6. Divine Decree: Belief that God has knowledge of all things, though humans still possess free will to choose their actions.
