Who we are:

Jamestown Islamic Society, Inc., was established in 1986.  As non-political, local, non-profit religious organization that's managed by volunteers, J.I.S. is dedicated to providing Islamic spiritual guidance for interested local Muslim community members and families through promoting education, peace, justice, and equity.  We also promote partnership and collaboration with other religious and charitable organizations within Chautauqua county and beyond to facilitate education and community-building missions.

Our declaration of faith -  Believe it in the heart, state it with the tongue,  and act upon it during daily life:

"I declare and testify that there is no god worthy of worship except the One and only Supreme Creator God, (whose Arabic name is) "Allah",  and that prophet Muhammad is the last and final messenger of Allah." 

Our Purpose and Main Mission:

To practice and utilize Islam's two main sources and knowledge: the Quran and the "Hadith" traditions of the prophet Muhammad (may peace and Allah's prayers be onto him and his family) while meeting the spiritual needs of the local Muslim community.

"Convey on my behalf at least one verse," said the prophet Muhammad, (may peace, Allah's prayers and blessings be onto him)


Challenge:

Explore spirituality from another viewpoint, keeping it simple!


Basic logic that makes sense:

If there is only one God, there can only be one true religion/path that guides to and teaches true monotheism.  In our time, Islam is the only path that claims to have stayed in tact and true to it's claims. Islam teaches its followers to stand for what they believe in and to stand for all that leads to monotheism.
