The 877-Why-Islam mailing center ships literature nationally and internationally from this facility. Thousands of brochures are mailed to individuals requesting information on Islam, and to MSAs and Islamic Centers worldwide.
Many reverts frequently tell us that they would like to have informal gatherings with community where they can interact and ask any questions they may have. The center hosts monthly get-togethers intended to strengthen our brotherhood and sisterhood to develop stronger bonds, make new friendships, and discuss topics of interest. The center has also hosted informative sessions on Islam for non-Muslim neighbors during Ramadan and Hajj time.
The large conference room, having capacity of 100, hosts various community events such as classes for youth, family counseling seminars and non-Muslim dawah events. The room is equipped with multimedia presentation tools with built-in audio system. In recent months, several known speakers such as Dr. Ingrid Mattson, Sh. Jamaal Zarabozo, Br. Yahiya Emerick, Imam Jawad Ahmed and others have addressed the community. We have also organized computer classes and career counseling sessions.

Each Friday, children's learning program is held by MCNA. This activity having interactive discussions focuses on developing leadership and morals in young children. This two hour weekly program has now reached full enrollment, Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah, the center's game room is now open. It features a Pool Table, Table Tennis, Air Hockey, Foos ball, Carrom board and Dart game. This recreational area attracts area youth and young families while observing Islamic etiquettes.
Recently, the 877-Why-Islam food bank has started to serve the community. Service is available for members of low-income households, Muslims and non-Muslims. Basic supplies such as baby food, canned food, breakfast items, and snacks are available.
In addition to these initiatives, the 877-Why-Islam center serves as the launch pad for various popular ICNA-NJ events such as the Great Muslim Adventure Day at Six Flags, the Best of the Year Awards & Scholarships and the jeopardy style Quiz Competition on Islamic Knowledge.
All these activities are brought to you consistently with a dedicated team consisting almost entirely of volunteers. This team has accomplished much, by the Grace of Allah, operating from this center.
