Masjid Saad began as a small prayer area on The University of Toledo’s campus in 1976. We have continued to grow and evolve since then moving to larger and larger facilities. In the mid 1980s the Al-Bayan weekend Arabic school was started and has been teaching Arabic to generations of Toledoans. In 1993 Al-Bayan school was formally established as a full day Saturday program in a permanent home at the Masjid building. Previously, it rotated sites. In 1994, Toledo Islamic Academy was established, a full time Islamic School from pre-school to twelfth grade and has been the centerpiece of the community since then.
