Community Mosque Of Winston Salem (CMWS)

The Community Mosque of Winston-Salem was formally established September 1984. It evolved out of the
organizational efforts of the Institute for Islamic Involvement, Inc., an Islamic membership organization dedicated
to demonstrating an assertive Muslim involvement in the life of the general community. Several past members of
the Washington, DC-based Islamic Party in North America, primarily Ibrahim Hanif, Jamal Abdullah, Salih Abdul
Latif, and Khalid Abdul Fattah Griggs, labored to develop the ideological framework, organizational structure, and
program of action for the Institute for Islamic Involvement.
