Islamic Society of Niagara Frontier
As local Muslims conclude of the holy month of Ramadan, one of the area s most important mosques is celebrating completion of a major addition to its facility in Amherst.
The Muslim Community Center on Heim Road is a highly visible part of the Islamic Society of the Niagara Frontier and holds three services Thursday morning. That not only reflects the size of the congregation, but the limits of religious services in these times of social distancing.
A ribbon cutting and a tree planting will occur on Saturday marking completion of the $1.5 million expansion. Founding Chairman Dr. Khalid Qazi said completion was delayed by the pandemic.
