With Allah’s blessings and support of our community, a long-time dream has become a reality. In 2001 a few dedicated Muslims organized Salat al-Juma’h at the Lenexa Community Center, registered the Shawnee Mission Islamic Education Center (SMIEC), Inc. in 2010, and received IRS 501c3 status in 2011. We bought a building in 2019 that is now home to the newest masjid in our area.
