In 1998, a small group of families in Herndon and Reston, Virginia, established the North American Islamic Foundation (NAIF) Center to serve the local Muslim population. Over the past three decades, the NAIF Center has grown. Today, we serve the areas of Sterling, Ashburn, Centreville, Chantilly, Gainesville, Great Falls, Herndon, Manassas, Bristow, Leesburg, and Reston in Northern Virginia. Our community continues to grow each Year as more families join us. NAIF Center has grown from a small group of dedicated individuals into a vibrant and active community hub. Over the years, we have expanded our facilities and services to meet our community’s evolving needs better. The principles of faith and compassion have guided our journey and a commitment to excellence.

The United American Muslim Association (UAMA) was established on May 29th 1980 to provide permanent solutions for the Muslims in North America with their religious needs, primarily by providing appropriate places to worship and providing an Islamic education for the youth.
