وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا وَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنْهَا ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ ﴿سورة آل عمران - ١٠٣﴾
And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided. (Aal-i-Imran - 103)
Who We Are
The Jaffery Union of NE Ohio, DBA Unity Center of Northeast Ohio, began congregating for religious occasions in the early 1980s. We are a community center dedicated to preaching and advancing Islamic teachings according to the Islamic Shia Ithna Asheri Ja’ffari faith.
Our center is a membership-based non-profit charitable organization, dedicated to spreading the teachings of Islam in a way that is inclusive, welcoming, and respectful of all. We believe that diversity within the Muslim community is a strength, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
Our vision
Our mission is to establish a place of worship that enables religious education, counseling, and support services for its membership and the general public. We offer a variety of programs and events such as educational classes, prayer services, and community gatherings. We also strive to provide resources for those seeking to learn more about Islam, including books, lectures, and online content.
We believe that by coming together as a community, we can promote understanding, respect, and mutual support. We welcome individuals of all backgrounds to join us in this journey of learning and spiritual growth. We believe that by fostering unity and diversity within the Muslim community, we can create a stronger, more inclusive community for all.
