In the year 1995 a small group of Muslims rented a 500 sq. ft. office on the upper level of a strip plaza located at 2462 Kingsway Avenue, in the City of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada and named it The Tri-City Islamic Centre. Before this step, few Muslim families used to gather every Friday together and offer Jumu'ah (Friday) prayers in a room linked to Terry Fox Library, Port Coquitlam. The Tri-City Islamic Centre facility was mainly used for Jumu'ah and the five daily Prayers and later progressed its services to include the teaching of Qur'an and Sunnah to children and adults, Arabic Language and special family affairs services.

Although the name is Tri-City, indeed the Centre serves Muslims from seven cities: Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, New Westminster, Burnaby, and Maple Ridge.

The Management Committee consists of brothers and sisters who came from different parts of the world representing Muslims from all continents.

They have pledged to strive to achieve the ultimate aim and objective of every Muslim, which is to seek the pleasure of Allah, by worshipping Him, serving fellow humans, and strive to make Allah's Word supreme. Thus, the commitment was to help Muslims achieve those ideals through the collective efforts of all involved Insha Allah.

With the help of Allah, the dream came true and the Mosque was opened on August 15, 2003.
