ICCV Closed

Due to a Significant Increase in COVID-19 cases in recent times and the issuance of a Stay-At-Home order, ICCV Board had to make this difficult decision to suspend All Prayers until further notice. The community's safety and well-being is our highest priority at this time.

Your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated 

Jazak Allah Khair

On behalf of the Islamic Center of Conejo Valley (ICCV), we write to express our love and solidarity with the Black community. 

We are heartbroken by the tragic death of George Floyd.    For those who have seen the shocking video, the image of George Floyd’s death has forever pierced our eyes and shaken our souls.  Much to our dismay, this senseless act of violence is one of many in our country’s history.  Breonna Taylor, Steven Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Tony McDade, David McAtee, Walter Scott, Philando Castile and Trayvon Martin, all suffered a similar fate.  Why?  Because they were BLACK.

As Muslim Americans, when one part of our society is hurting due to injustice and oppression, we cannot sit silent.  In accordance with the teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah, we need to right such wrongs.  It is with that understanding, ICCV condemns all forms of anti-black violence, police brutality and systemic racism. 

We acknowledge that the status quo is not right.  We applaud people of all faiths who are standing up peacefully and taking action to shine a light on this issue which has been neglected for far too long.   As members of the larger American community, we need to think long and hard about how we as individuals can make a difference.  We need to all work together for a better, more equitable future.

In closing, the Islamic Center of Conejo Valley prays for George Floyd and other victims of police violence. We pray for the families who have lost loved ones to such tragic events.  Finally, we pray that our country finds its moral compass and truly establishes "liberty and justice for ALL."
