History
In 1997, ICOJ established Hira Masjid in Gyotoku, Ichikawa city of Chiba ken by purchasing a two storey building which was a bar earlier. During 2003-2004 the Masjid building was reconstructed looking at the need to increase the capacity as well as poor condition of the building due to the age of building. Alhamdulillah the New Hira Masjid has been built, with a capacity of over 200 persons.[1]
