Since the late 1990s, Masjid Dawah has been the sole mosque in the Chicago area offering Islamic services at the Cook County Jail across all divisions. We are pleased to announce that the Cook County administration has recently granted us permission to conduct Jummah prayer for two divisions.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Hassan El Khatib and Jamil Khursheed for their invaluable support in facilitating these Jummah prayers. Additionally, Masjid Dawah provides services for the women’s division, with a dedicated sister generously offering her time to assist our Muslim sisters.
This program plays a crucial role in reducing recidivism by providing spiritual guidance, fostering a sense of community, and offering educational resources. By donating English Qurans and basic teaching books, you can help us support inmates in their spiritual growth and rehabilitation, ultimately aiding in their successful reintegration into society.
