Imam Ali Centre

This Shia community mainly consists of converts to Islam, many of whom are of Caribbean origin. As such, the programs at this centre, and there are many, are in English. The community is very warm and welcoming and family-friendly/family centered. As a stranger, Sunni sister, I was warmly greeted by the other sisters and the brothers also gave salaams when they passed. Probably because most people here are converts there is a big emphasis on Islamic learning and deepening iman, etc. As part of that focus, as I mentioned before, there are always a lot of speakers coming to this community, halaqahs and classes - all in English. The space itself is a large simply decorated room in the larger Imam Ali Centre.
