Islamic Center of Lexington ParkVerified

The Islamic Center of Lexington Park was first established in July 2001 by 3 Muslims who moved to the area for work. These founding 3 traveled 45 minutes to Prince Frederick, the location of the closest Masjid, to perform Jumu’ah prayers. In 2003, the community slowly grew to 5 members. These 5 organized for a room in the Chapel in the Patuxent River Naval Air Station where most worked. The 5 men performed the Jumu’ah in the Chapel for the next two years.
