1. What is Dar al Islam?
Dar al Islam is a non-profit organization incorporated in the State of New Mexico. We strongly identify ourselves with mainstream Islam (ahli sunna wa'l jama'at). Our goal is to help the non-Muslims of North America understand about Islam, and to serve as a catalyst in deepening the practice of Islam among the Muslims of America.

2. Where is Dar al Islam located?
While at times our activities take place in other parts of  the country, Dar al Islam operates a program site on 1357 acres in Abiquiu, northern New Mexico. The strikingly beautiful Mosque-Madressa building was designed by the famous Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy, and built mainly by local Hispanic and Anglo builders and craftsmen.

3. Who is Dar al Islam?
Dar al Islam is not an Islamic village or a community, and it is not a membership association. It is an educational organization run by a small staff working under the direction of the Chairman of its Board of Trustees. Dar al Islam works with other Muslim and non-Muslim individuals and organizations throughout North America. Its programs often draw upon the support from a small group of Muslim families living in and around Abiquiu.

4. What does Dar al Islam do?
Dar al Islam organizes programs for both Muslims and non-Muslims, which have included some of the following over the years:
Teachers Institutes training secondary school teachers to teach about Islam. Deen Intensives intensive training in traditional Islamic sciences for Muslims. Tarbiyah Projects activities to inculcate Islamic behavior and identity among Muslim children. Professional Training for Muslims programs to increase the skills of those involved in Islamic work. Speakers Bureaus access to trained speakers on Islam for middle and secondary schools.

Dar al Islam works to strengthen the moral and social fabric of America. Success is achieved by building bridges between and among those who share our vision, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, at both individual and organizational levels. It is our understanding and our hope that this process will make American society more receptive to mainstream Islam.
