Chandler East Valley Phoenix New Mosque Ready in Ramadan After 12 Years
Arizona
Chandler, Phoenix
After 12 years, Chandler mosque prepares to open
Lawn Griffiths, Tribune
When the holy month of Ramadan arrives Sept. 1, about 400 Muslim families in the south East Valley will finally have their own masjid, or mosque. They'll gather there for their nightly prayer services and cultural activities, meals and events that traditionally make a mosque a center of Islamic community life.
It's been 12 years of delays and setbacks, escalating costs and several turnovers of building contractors, but the Islamic Center of the East Valley is nearing completion at 425 N. Alma School Road in Chandler. Only part of the three-story, 10,000-square-foot mosque will be ready for Ramadan, but that is a miracle in light of the way things looked on May 1, just before trustees brought contractor Jalil Ahmed into the picture.
