Online Quran Classes in Kansas: Serving Muslim Families Across the Heartland
The greater Kansas City area is home to an estimated 60,000 Muslims, a community that has more than doubled in size over the past two decades, according to the Visit KC Muslim community guide.
The Kansas City Muslim Community
The Islamic Society of Greater Kansas City (ISGKC), founded in the 1970s, remains the central mosque serving thousands for daily prayers and Friday Jumu’ah. The Islamic Center of Johnson County at 9005 W 151st Street in Overland Park serves over 7,000 congregants and operates a robust schedule of weekday and weekend Islamic classes. The Islamic Center of Kansas at 14750 W 143rd Street in Olathe has served the area for over twenty years.
The Kansas City Muslim community includes Arab families with roots in Syrian, Lebanese, and Palestinian immigration dating to the late 19th century, Pakistani families who began arriving in the 1950s, Bosnian refugees who arrived after the 1990s, Somali families, and a historically significant African-American Muslim community whose foundations trace to Muhammad’s Temple Number 30 on Swope Parkway, established in the 1950s with support from Muhammad Ali.
The Kansas City Geography Problem
Kansas City is not a compact city. From Overland Park in Johnson County to communities in Clay County, families can be 30 to 45 minutes from any Islamic institution. The ISGKC Weekend School offers Saturday morning programs, and the ICJC provides education classes, but getting a child to a weekday Quran class in a sprawling metro requires a significant time commitment.
Online Quran classes eliminate that. A child in Overland Park starts their session at 4:30pm CST from home, finishes at 5pm, and the evening is intact.
