The Mission Masjid project is a fundraising initiative that the Islamic Center at NYU has launched in conjunction with New York University in order to raise funds for the establishment of a permanent prayer space in the downtown Manhattan area. This building will serve as a full-time Islamic Center for the NYU and downtown Manhattan community, insha'Allah.
At the present time, our primary goal is to raise enough funds so that we can extend the lease of our current space and continue to provide services (i.e., Jummah Prayers, Daily Iftars during Ramadan, Eid Prayers, Daily Prayer Space, etc) to our community members, NYU and non-NYU alike.
All donations will be put into a restricted fund set up by New York University's Office of Development and will fall under NYU's tax-exempt status. For more information on Mission:Masjid and on how your tax-exempt contributions will be used, please click here

Imam Zaid Shakir:
Imam Zaid Shakir was born in Berkeley, California, the second of seven children. He accepted Islam in 1977 while serving in the United States Air Force and studying for his honors BA degree in International Relations from the American University in Washington D.C. He later went on to earn a MA in Political Science from Rutgers University.
After a year in Cairo, Egypt, studying Arabic, he settled in New Haven, Connecticut and continued his tireless community activism, co-founding Masjid al-Islam, the Tri-State Muslim Education Initiative, and the Connecticut Muslim Coordinating Committee. Imam Zaid served as the Imam of Masjid al-Islam and as an Adjunct Professor at Southern Connecticut State University from 1988 to 1994, after which time he departed for Syria to further his studies in the traditional Islamic Sciences.
Spending the next seven years in Syria and in Morocco, he immersed himself in an intense study of Arabic, Islamic law, Quranic studies, and Islamic spirituality with some of the top Muslim scholars of our age. In 2001, he graduated from Syria's prestigious Abu Noor University and returned to Connecticut to continue his work with the Muslim community in America.
Teaching regularly as the Imam of Masjid al-Islam, he wrote numerous articles for various magazines, journals, and newspapers, and lectured frequently. Amongst several works that he has translated from Arabic into English, his translation of ?The Heirs of the Prophets? was published by Starlatch Press in 2001.
In 2003, he moved to Hayward, California with his family to serve as a scholar-in-residence and lecturer at Zaytuna Institute where he now teaches regular courses on Arabic, Islamic Law, History, and Islamic Spirituality.
