Petikan:

Early maps offer a fascinating window into Singapore’s history. Some of these provide material evidence of Singapore’s existence as an important navigational landmark and place of trade in the maritime crossroads of East and West, long before the arrival of the British in 1819. They also preserve on record the various indigenous names of ancient Singapore. These indigenous names, such as Temasek (“sea town”) and Pulau Panjang (“long island”) are part of our heritage that live on today.

The Islamic Center of America traces its history to the 1950s, when a dedicated group of young Lebanese Americans worked with Imam Mohammad Jawad Chirri to establish Michigan’s first, purpose-built Shi`a mosque. The congregation’s original house of worship was dedicated on Joy Road in Detroit in 1963. The Islamic Center has thrived over the years and is now perhaps the largest mosque in North America. Its growth and dynamism are reflected in the congregation’s new building, which opened in 2005 on Ford Road in Dearborn. The Center has also sponsored a popular K-6 school, the Muslim American Youth Academy, located next to its Ford Road facility, since 1997.

Dar al-Islam is the realized vision of an American-born Muslim, an American educated Saudi businessman, the award-winning architect Hassan Fathy (1900-89). The purpose-built educational center and mosque was built in the early 1980s, sits in New Mexico’s mesa landscape, and today functions as an educational retreat.

During the late 1970s Abdullah Nurdin Durkee and his wife Nura envisioned the construction of an Islamic village in the United States. During a trip to Makkah they met Sahl Kabbani, a Saudi businessman educated in the United States who felt a connection and desired to contribute in some manner.

Together they decided to create an Islamic village that would also function as an educational center and retreat. Later on Nura Durkee, while also praying in Makkah, met Mothie and Johara, daughters of the Saudi king at the time, both of whom offered a financial gift to start the project. The group searched for a suitable site and eventually settled on Abiquiu, NM, due to the abundance of available land for a relatively low cost, the remote location, and the landscape’s similar qualities with those in the Middle East.
