History

Noor-ul-Islam Ontario, Islamic Association of Simcoe County  aka as Barrie Mosque was formed on October 14th 1977 The association brought together Muslims from all over the world predominantly living in Simcoe County. The primary aim of the Association has been to create conditions conducive to the growth of Islam, to provide Islamic education and to organize religious and community activities.

On the 30th of June 1989, Noor-ul-Islam of Ontario purchased a house on Little Lake Drive, Barrie, Ontario. The location was not adequate for the plans and future growth of the community.  It was a long cherish dream for the Muslims of the area to have a Mosque that could service the needs of the community.  Alhamdulilah on June 21 2004 Allah (SWT) honored Barrie and the surrounding area with a full fledged Mosque at 155 Ferris Lane.  The building comprises two floors, on the top floor is a main hall for prayers,  lower floor has rooms for various community activities, kitchen and washrooms.  In the new location InshaAllah we will be able to widen our activities to many people including Non-Muslims who are not familiar with the Message of Islam.
