History |

•In
2003, with the growing Muslim population in Placer county and its vicinities, as
well as with the Industrial growth in Roseville, Rocklin, a need for
establishment of an Islamic center and a Mosque was realized. The efforts went
underway. A room at the, then Sikh Temple was rented and the Juma prayers were
started. By the end of 2004, The temple was bought & taken over by the Gathering
Inn organization.

congregation has grown steadily since then.

February of 2005, ISPC was registered with the state of California as a
Non-Profit Religious, social, welfare and Charity corporation/organization.
