Adam Masjid
Rafi Ahmed, Founder of the Adam Masjid Medical Clinic
The Masjid (Arabic: al-masjid) is an integral part of Islamic faith and serves as an international gathering point for Muslims all around the globe.
According to the Quran, Prophet Adam constructed the original mosque and established an Islamic society.
Early Life and Education
After the flood, Allah created Adam and Eve as companions in paradise. Once He created them, He ordered His angels to prostrate themselves before Him in gratitude.
Adam was then welcomed into Paradise with Eve as his companion, thus satisfying his natural desire for procreation and fulfilling his need to produce offspring.
Quranic verses indicate that after creating Adam, God instructed His angels to prostrate themselves before Him before creating Eve as Adam’s life partner.
Under Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) and Prophet Sulayman (pbuh), two mosques – al-Masjid al-Haram and al-Masjid al-Aqsa – were established as centers of worship for Muslims worldwide and their people, giving these prophets and their followers a distinct historical and spiritual position in terms of history and worship practices.
Professional Career
ADAMS opened three years ago as a free medical clinic that does not rely on government funding. Staffed by physicians, nurses, therapists, medical assistants and assistants from all across the country–62% are women!-it offers services free of charge to its community members.
One of the striking aspects of this masjid’s clinical services is their commitment to offering affordable health care to everyone from all backgrounds. Their clinicians treat all their patients without regard for religion. This shows a sign of compassion as they work to provide affordable health care to their community.

Achievement and Honors
Islam considers mosques to be integral parts of their faith. Along with praying, Muslims must take great care in maintaining and tending their place of worship and reverence for future generations to worship at.
At almost all masajid worldwide, there are volunteer opportunities that enable individuals to lend a helping hand in many capacities. These range from directing cars, ushering attendees, selling food, collecting donations, running food drives and setting up prayer spaces as well as maintaining IT and social media platforms.
A mosque is the hub for Muslim prayer and social interaction. Furthermore, this sacred space can offer spiritual benefits as well as prepare individuals for Judgment Day.
