All praise is due to Allah,we praise him,and we seek his help and forgiveness.We seek
refuge in Allah,the most high,from the evils of our own selves and from our wicked deeds.
Whomsoever has been guided by Allah,none can misguide him,and whomsoever has been guided
by Allah,none can guide him.I bear witness that thereis no true god worthy of being worshipped
except Allah,alone,without partner or associate.I further bear witness that Muhammad is his true
slave and messanger.May Allah,the Exalted,bestow his peace and blessings on the final prophet
Muhammad,upon his good and pure family,and upon all his noble companions.
The Turku Islamic Society, located at Yliopistonkatu was founded some time in 1992 by a group of youths in Islam.This Society comprises of a five men executive body elected every year.The res- ponsibilities of this body is to manage and coordinate religious and financial issues relating to the mosque and to see to it that muslim brothers are united.This is indeed a very big responsibility.
Over a short period of time,the examples of Muslim brothers in Turku triggered the reversion of approximately 20 Finns in Turku.There are about 20,0000 muslims in Finland.800 includes Finns.This is a remarkable thing considering Finland's posture towards religion.A lot of difference will occur with time.
FORMER EXECUTIVE BODY:
Plans are underway to construct a mosque that could accomodate more worshippers.
The Society is appealing to every willing donor to help in this venture.
