INSTITUTE OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION

MASJID AL ISLAM SERVICES

Family & Counseling

Institute of Islamic Education offers counseling services for families as well as individuals. IIE encourages the community to approach the scholars here to assist and guide them through any difficulties they might face. Allah, the Most High, states in the Qur’an, “And it is not for the believers to go forth all at once. For there should separate from every division of them a group [remaining] to obtain understanding in the religion and warn their people when they return to them that they might be cautious” (10:22). These scholars, men, and women, are here to serve the community in all of their religious needs and contribute in any way possible.

Nikah

IIE offers its masjid and faculty for Marriage (Nikah) services. In line with the Islamic teachings of publicizing one’s marriage, IIE welcomes anyone to use its facilities for such an auspicious occasion. Marriages at IIE are facilitated by qualified and experienced scholars. IIE offers marriage certificates in line with the county’s guidelines.

Janazah Prayer and Burial

In Masjid al-Islam, Janazah Salah (funeral prayers) are offered to deceased Muslims, which is an ideal choice for many Muslims in the Chicagoland area. Imam leads the prayer and may also escort the funeral procession to the neighboring Bluff City Cemetery (945 Bluff City Blvd, Elgin, IL 60120) which is conveniently located on a one-minute drive (0.7 miles) from the mosque. This close proximity allows for the funeral process to be done in a smooth and uninterrupted manner.
