United Muslim Masjid (UMM) has served the Muslim community of Philadelphia since 1994. UMM opened its first masjid on October 11, 1994, at 810 S. 15th Street in South Philadelphia, after a group of brothers partnered with Brother Kenny Gamble, also known as Luqman Abdul-Haqq, to establish a dedicated space for worship, prayer, and community life.

From the very first Jumuʿah prayer, the masjid was filled to capacity. As the community continued to grow, UMM expanded in 1995 into the adjoining property at 808 S. 15th Street, increasing the prayer space and allowing the masjid to serve even more worshippers. Even after the expansion, attendance continued to overflow, showing the strong need for Islamic institutions rooted in the Qur’an, Sunnah, and service to the community.

In 2006, UMM purchased another property at 1251–53 Point Breeze Avenue in South Philadelphia. The United Muslim Islamic Center (UMIC) opened its doors in the fall of 2007. Designed, constructed, and built through the dedication of the believers in the community, UMIC became another important center for worship, education, and outreach in Point Breeze and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Today, UMM continues to serve Philadelphia through daily prayers, Jumuʿah, Islamic education, weekly classes, lectures, youth and family programming, community service, and ongoing religious guidance. With United Muslim Masjid at 810 S. 15th Street and United Muslim Islamic Center on Point Breeze Avenue, UMM remains committed to building a strong Islamic community upon the Qur’an and Sunnah while addressing the religious, social, and educational needs of Muslims in Philadelphia.

UMM is blessed with respected teachers and community leadership, including Imam Hanif Fouse, Dr. Tahir Wyatt, and Shaykh Abu Muhammad Abdur-Ra’uf Shakir, whose teaching, khutbahs, classes, and daʿwah efforts continue to benefit the local community and Muslims beyond Philadelphia.

As UMM moves forward, its mission remains clear: to preserve faith, strengthen families, educate the next generation, serve the community, and provide a welcoming Islamic environment where worship, knowledge, brotherhood, sisterhood, and service come together for the pleasure of Allah.
