The IMAN Center in Kirkland has been in fellowship since 1997. Iman means faith in Arabic, but IMAN is also short for Ithna-asheri Muslim Association of the Northwest. A center for prayer, IMAN holds prayer daily and nightly. The center also includes a Sunday school, Arabic and Farsi language classes and study circles. Youth activities, weddings and other religious Muslim celebrations are frequently held here. IMAN is also involved with many social services, including feeding the hungry and financial aid for those in need.
