What is Islam Care Centre?
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 established as our daughter organization to deliver professional counselling to the community.
Our Impact
The Future of Islam Care
Islam Care Centre runs programs in many areas of focus, as well as supporting the work of our partner initiative Muslim Family Services of Ottawa (MFSO). ICC focuses on spiritual and charitable services and community outreach, while supporting professional mental health and social work services for the wider community.
“In following 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 Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “The best of people are those who bring the most benefit to the rest of humanity.”
Who Are You Helping?
Supporting ICC is not only about a building, but also about changing lives for the better.
“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.”
“While going through the most difficult time in our lives we found the help and advice we needed from the people at Islam Care Centre. From our family crisis to learning Islam, they were always ready to help us.”
