   (In Japanese > 一般社団法人蕨バイトゥンヌール文化センター
   Ippan Shadan Houjin Warabi Baitun Noor Bunka Center)


Place of Worship Name: Warabi Baitun Noor Musallah

Saitama prefecture next to the capital of Tokyo and Warabi city in the center of the prefecture. Warabi City is connected by the Keihin Tohoku Line of the Japan Railway. There is also a station named Warabi on the line, and there are private housing, prefectural housing and municipal housing that can accommodate 10 to 50 thousand of people around the station. These houses are also comfortable places for foreigners to live in and have convenient transportation. The reason why many foreigners want to live in these houses is, that no guarantor is required when making a contract, and anyone with a permit to stay in Japan can use them. It is thought that many foreigners who come to Japan with the passage of time are living around Warabi Station.
Inside of the Musallah
Islamic people make up a large proportion of foreigners. The Islamic people around Warabi had to go far every Friday for group worship, Tarawih’s group worship and Eid's group worship. It is Maolana Hafiz Mr. Saber Ahmed of the current Gamo Masjid Imam who has long considered the need for Musallah or Masjid to worship Islamic people in the Warabi area. Warabi Musallah was formed around June 2021 by the efforts of several Islamic people living in Warabi.

After that, several people formed an organization as volunteers, and the Musallah name was changed to Warabi Baitun Noor Musallah. In addition, Mr. A K M Ashraful Islam was appointed as the Chief Executive Director by voting.

At the same time, the registration was completed as the Warabi Baitun Noor Cultural Center, and the Kawaguchi Shinyo Kinko (Bank) also succeeded in opening a corporate Bank account. This corporation has a policy of playing an active role only with donations for the time being. Currently, there is no an imam, and Musallah regularly hold group worship services about 2/3 times each Friday, and the plan to make efforts to hold group worship services for Tarawih and Eid etc. At the time of each group worship service, the person in charge is decided and a list is created on a monthly basis. In addition, this information is regularly reported to the Warabi Police. In the future, the ToDo at the top of the menu will be updated on the website from time to time.

Currently, Musallah is renting and using a rental condominium as Musallah for group worship. It is also considering more collecting donations from Islamic people and converting Musallah into a Masjid in the own building, and changing the registration to a religious corporation. In the future, it’s plan to actively hold study sessions and other cultural activities as well as group worship under this corporation. Cooperation, support and donations of Islamic people highly appreciated.
