“Invite to the way of your Lord with Wisdom”
Islam Care Centre has served as Ottawa’s downtown Muslim organization since 1993, offering spiritual, social, and mental health services. It became a federally incorporated Registered Canadian Charity on November 18th, 1999 (Corporation No: 368505-5). In 2011, Muslim Family Services of Ottawa was initiated by ICC in order to expand our culturally informed social services for refugees, immigrants, and visible minorities, with a focus on downtown neighbourhoods.
We organize Friday prayer, the five daily prayers, Quran classes for children, help for those experiencing homelessness, and critical support for those new to Islam. We also serve former prisoners, women fleeing violence, isolated seniors, and many others.
Alhamdulillah our daily iftar program is up and running and now all we need is the continued support of our dear community members. Allah Most Kind is generous to the generous and this is a time our Muslim brothers and sisters feel their need the most, so please don’t stop any impulse to give however little you are able to, and share the initiative with others who may wish to share in the reward.
In following the the example of the blessed Prophet ﷺ we can truly serve the community and present the true message of Islam to the broader Canadian society.
“The best of people are those who bring the most benefit to the rest of humanity.”

As a convert to Islam, I found support and encouragement inside a dilapidated old building downtown. The people at Islam Care Centre do great work. I just wish they had nicer facilities to better serve us all.
