A Grateful Community | SBIA incorporated 40 years ago this day
And when your Lord proclaimed: If ye give thanks, I will give you more; (Surah Ibrahim, verse 7)
Today, March 28, 2020 marks a blessed day for the South Bay Islamic Association.
Forty years ago, the articles of incorporation of the South Bay Islamic Association were filed on this day with the California Secretary of State. In these four decades, our organization and the community has come a long way by the favor of Allah ﷻ, the effort and sacrifices of those that came before us, the continued generosity of the community, and the selflessness of those who continue to give their time for a greater cause.
The South Bay Islamic Association (SBIA) is one of the oldest Islamic Organizations in The Bay Area. Its headquarters are located in San Jose, CA. SBIA has been providing various services to the community since 1977 including the five daily prayers at two locations (San Jose Downtown, and Harris Way) and Friday prayers at both locations. SBIA has been active in spreading Islam through various Dawah programs and by hosting a number of activities including Weekend Islamic School, Quranic classes for children, Tafseer (English translation and Exegesis) classes for adults, conferences and community get-togethers.
