Ibrahim K.I. Center was established in 1996 in Fremont, CA. As the population of new arrivals and immigrants from Afghanistan increased in the Bay Area — especially in Fremont — the community recognized the need for a masjid and community center to serve its religious and traditional needs. A group of dedicated individuals from the city of Fremont came together to lay the foundation of IKI Center.

For many years, the center rented space in a shopping mall. In 2006, the organization purchased the building at its current location and renovated the interior into the beautiful, grand masjid it is today — known for its iconic style in the city of Fremont.
