A Historical Perspective The Islamic Center Of Naperville (ICN) was formed in 1991 as a non-profit organization under the laws of the State of Illinois, for the specific purpose of serving the religious and cultural needs of the Muslims living and /or working in the Naperville area and its surrounding cities and towns. The actual roots of ICN, however go back farther than 1991. In 1970-80 a group of far-sighted Muslims established the Naperville Islamic School as an affiliate of the Muslim Community Center (MCC) in Chicago. The “weekend” school was held on Friday nights to save money. The classes met first at Naperville North High School and then at Woodridge School on Hobson Road in Lisle.
