About Us
Newark Central Masjid is part of the Alaaka Association of New Jersey, serving our community through worship, education, and outreach. Alaaka Association of New Jersey is a non-profit (501 c) community-based organization formed in 2003 and headquartered in Newark, New Jersey.
We have observed a steady growth in the mostly West African Muslim migrants in the Newark metro, who, among other challenges, faced assimilation problems. Alaaka has been providing support, helping members navigate cultural and social integration.
With a significant presence of African Americans whose insight and assistance has immensely helped in the socio-cultural education of the community, Alaaka is fulfilling the dreams of the founding members. The organization provides religious and cultural education, community-based services, and promotes inter-religious dialogue among its core objectives.
Our Mission
To empower the Newark Muslim community through worship, education, and outreach programs. We aim to nurture spiritual growth, foster cultural understanding, and develop the intellectual, moral, and social capacity of our members, ensuring a positive impact on both individuals and the wider community.
Our Vision
To create a community that will serve as a model for peaceful coexistence among religions. We also hope to promote the intellectual, moral, and vocational capacity of our members with the aim of transforming the lives of our members and the community at large.
