Mosque Project

Masjid Dar As-Salam was opened on July 14, 2012 as the first permanent mosque and Islamic Centre on Prince Edward Island. The Muslim community in PEI were less than 100 families in 2012, but they raised more than $700,000 from Muslims and non-Muslims from coast to coast, and those outside of Canada.

Between 2012 and now, the number of Muslim families on the Island had tripled. Masjid Dar As-Salam has served the community for many years as a place of worship, learning, and community relationship building. The Muslim community has grown, and so has the masjid, which has led to the extension project that started with a purchase of the land lot behind the mosque. The pictures below show the history and future of Masjid Dar Al-Salam

2018 – Original Mosque

2019 – 2021 – Phase One – extended parking and Phase Two – expanded mosque

2024 – Phase Three – extended parking

Future - Phase Four – Islamic Centre (in orange)

Phase One of the project started in 2019 with an extension of the parking slot to add about 30 parking spaces and it helped streamline parking and traffic around the mosque during times of congregation and events.
