AAICQ Mosque


Our History

The Albanian-American Islamic Center of Queens was established on February 4, 1997, and the construction of the facility concluded in 2000. The inaugural ceremony was held on October 27 of 2002, in which occasion the attendees included honorable religious authorities from Albania like hfz. Sabri Koci, Dr. Rexheb Boja, Mr. Idriz Demiri, Arif Emini and others.


Our Mission

The central mission of this Center, which it strives to accomplish from day one, is the preservation and development of the religious awareness and identity of Albanian Muslims in the USA, especially in the New York metropolitan area. Therefore, the Center, besides the common religious services like the five daily prayers, Friday and Eid prayers, it conducts classes on religion and the Albanian language for all ages, classes on the Arabic alphabet, Islamic matrimonial services, funeral services, SAT practice tests, etc.


Our Services

Even though relatively new, this Center has been very successful due to the high quality services it offers, a fact made evident by the number of its members, and of those who attend lectures.

New objectives and visions are always emerging at the Albanian-American Islamic Center of Queens which it strives to bring to fruition, with the help of Allah (swt).

I thank Allah for granting us an Islamic center sush as AAICQ in the heart of Queens to serve a wonderful community of belivers. We have also ben blessed to have Imam Edin Gjoni in our Mosque. His Khutbas are advanced and very insightful. He does not simply say what he knows, but he knows what he says.
