Dar al-Islam is a Muslim educational center near Abiquiú, New Mexico, US. The mosque and madrasa (religious school) were designed by the Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy and were constructed of adobe by Naqshbandi Haqqani Sufi Order builders. The main buildings were completed in 1981, and Dar al-Islam opened in 1982. It was the first planned Islamic community in the United States. It was originally co-founded in 1979 by Nuridin Durkee, an American who had converted to Islam; Sahl Kabbani, a Saudi businessman; and Abdullah Omar Nasseef, a former secretary-general of the World Muslim League.
