The centre was opened in June 2008 by the mercy of Allah the Most Gracious.

The centre is located at 45 Highfield Street in the heart of the multi cultural city of Leicester. It’s within a short walking distance of the railway station, City Centre and both Universities.

The IIC is operated entirely on a voluntary basis and is funded through regular donations from Muslims both locally and nationally. It is principally operated by a group of local Ulamma (Islamic scholars) who are articulate and possess a wealth of knowledge between them about Islam and modern day issues affecting Muslims and non Muslims alike.

Our ground floor incorporates the very foundation of islamic creed and fundamentals which hold the peaceful house of Islam, Who is Allah? Has there been any mention of Him as a diety in previous scripts? What does He wish for us? Qura'n.. what does it actually teach? Who is Muhammad did he take various ideals from different nations and compile the Qur'an? Is it true he could not read or write? These questions are unveiled in this very gallery exhibition with the aid of multimedia presentations.

The first floor highlights the contributions of Muslim scientists in the different fields that make up our modern world today,such as schools,medicine,astronomy,agriculture,architecture and politics.Also giving information most importantly on the rights of "women in Islam" which unfortunetely is often tainted in negative stereotyping.

The second floor dedicates two new themes to the centre after much request by the public " The Qur'an and The Prophets". within the serene exibition gallery you will find the Qur'an in many languages including Chineses,Korean, Spanish, English etc not to forget our unique complete copy of the Qur'an in braille!  our main feature unravels in our gallery The Prophets, there you will find answers to many questions: How old was Adam when he died? Where did Noah's flood actually take place? Was the Prophet Muhammad mentioned by Jesus? Come and view the entire Prophets illuminated family tree and discover this legacy and discover Islam.
