Joint effort between Islamic Center of Cary (ICC) and Islamic Center of Morrisville (ICM)

Islamic Center of Cary (ICC) and the Islamic Center of Morrisville (ICM) are beginning a joint effort to promote Ihsan — excellence in faith, character, and worship across both Masajid. This is not a merger. Both Masajid will remain fully independent organizations, with their own administration and identity. But for the mission of Ihsan, we will operate as sister organizations, supporting one another and moving with one heart.

Why Ihsan?

The Prophet ﷺ defined Ihsan in the famous Hadith of Jibrīl:

“That you worship Allah as if you see Him; and if you do not see Him, then know that He sees you.”

Ihsan is not only extra worship – it is beautiful character, honesty, mercy, service, clean hearts, and doing everything for Allah with excellence. Allah commands it clearly:

“Indeed, Allah commands justice and Ihsan…” (16:90)

And Allah loves it:

“Indeed, Allah loves the Muḥsinīn.” (2:195)

So, when we say we are promoting Ihsan, we mean we want stronger Iman, better akhlaq, greater sincerity, less conflict, more forgiveness, more service, and a community that reflects the beauty of Islam.

How will we work together?

Sister-masjid partnership: ICC and ICM remain independent but cooperate on the Ihsan mission.

Shared religious leadership for unity: Each masjid will allocate 50% of its imams to regularly serve the other masjid — so our messaging, teaching, and spiritual direction stay aligned and consistent.

Joint Advisory Board: An Advisory Board representing both Masajid will guide the work to ensure it is fair, transparent, and properly executed — so no masjid feels overlooked, and everyone benefits.

What will this look like for you? In shā’ Allah you will see:

• Unified themes in khutbahs and programs,
• Shared classes and spiritual initiatives,
• Joint training and youth development,
• And a consistent culture of mercy, adab, and excellence.

Brothers and sisters, this is about raising the spiritual standard of our communities — so that the masjid is not only a place we attend, but a place that transforms us.

Please make du‘ā’ that Allah places barakah in this partnership, protects unity, removes ego, and makes us from the أهل الإحسان—the people of Ihsan.

Allahumma-j‘alnā mina-l-muḥsinīn.

O Allah, make us among those who live with Ihsan
