ICNWA is a place where faith, learning, and community come together to nurture hearts, strengthen families, and build a welcoming future for everyone.
Northwest Arkansas is home to a strong and growing Muslim community consisting of Muslims of many ethnic backgrounds. Since 1994, the Islamic Center of Northwest Arkansas (ICNWA) has served the needs of this diverse group of Muslims in Fayetteville and the surrounding areas.
Northwest Arkansas is one of the fastest-growing regions in Arkansas. The nearby towns of Springdale, Rogers, Johnson, Lowell, and Bentonville are all served by the ICNWA and have all seen increased Muslim populations.
