A Community Built on Knowledge & Faith
IQRA Center Hillsboro is a vibrant Islamic center serving the Muslim community of Hillsboro and the greater Portland metro area. Founded by families who longed for a spiritual home in the Pacific Northwest, IQRA has grown into a diverse, welcoming space for Muslims of all backgrounds.
Our name — IQRA — means “Read” or “Recite,” echoing the very first word revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The pursuit of knowledge is at the heart of our faith, and every program we offer stems from that sacred command.
