Islamic Center of Shenandoah Valley is owned and operated by non-profit organization, Islamic Association of Shenandoah Valley (IASV), which was established in 1989 by a small Muslim community in the Harrisonburg Metropolitan and Shenandoah Valley. In six years, this small community was able to purchase a piece of land (1330 Country Club Road in Harrisonburg) to eventually build an Islamic Center of Shenandoah Valley (ICSV). As the local Muslim Community started to grow, the center’s building work began in 1998. The community lacked financial resources but had very energetic members who volunteered to help build the first phase of the center where main worship activities are now held. This section officially opened in 1999 after the city granted its permission after all required inspections.
