    About Noor Cultural Centre

    We aim to be a centre for Islamic practice and learning, and celebration of Islamic culture, while respecting the diversity in peoples and religions as directed by the Qur’an [49.13]: We have created you out of male and female, and have made you into nations and tribes, in order that you might come to know one another. In the sight of God the noblest among you is the one who is most deeply conscious of God.

    NOTE: Noor Cultural Centre no longer maintains a physical location

    Its 123 Wynford Drive location was sold in October 2021 after 18 months of continuous lockdown for COVID-19. Since March 2020, all Noor programming has been virtual, and is planned to continue thus, insh'Allah.
