The provision of Salat-ul-Jumuah in congregation was a starting point of the Jam-e-Masjid Islamic Center of New Jersey. Several hundred Muslims who live and work in the vicinity attend Salat-ul-Jumuah. Salat-ul-Jumuah @ JMIC is at 12:45 pm throughout the year.

DA’WAH WORK
The JMIC Da’wah work provides information and support to people who wish to study Islam. We distribute informational literature and the English/Spanish translation of the Quran to Non-Muslims. An important function of Da’wah work is the outreach program for Muslims in the area as well as for prison inmates who have accepted Islam and want to learn more from other Muslims.
