Serving the Muslims of Pee Dee and Beyond
Florence Islamic Center consists of members of the muslim community living in the Pee Dee area of South Carolina, USA. The florence Islamic Center Inc. is dedicated to raising its members with moral values and convictions about following Islamic principles. The Pee Dee area has long lacked an essential masjid and community center. Today, we have a conmmunity of 200+ families; large enough to outgrow the various makeshift prayer rooms spread through the area and establish a central masjid and community center. The rationale for our masjid project is as follows:
- Approximately 200+ muslim families live in the Pee Dee Area.
- The center will serve the cities of Florence, Hartsville, Lake City, Sumter, Dillon and Darlington.
- It will serve to attract and retain muslim families who need a place to worship and educate themselves about Islam.
- It will serve as a center for dawah for the region.
