The community of members that make up the Mohammadia Islamic & Cultural Center of Northern California (MICCNC) began congregating for major religious occasions several years ago. Today we have grown into a Shia Muslim community whose organization is a source of inspiration to other Muslim communities. There are currently almost 100 voting Members of the MICCNC, which when including family members translates to approximately 800 individuals. The Membership is comprised primarily, but not exclusively, of Shia Muslims of Afghan origin with a deep and rich history of worship, congregation and community service.
