Turks and Caicos Muslim Association (TCIMA) was formed to support the small but growing Muslim community that live within the Turks and Caicos Islands. TCIMA is committed to practicing, teaching and preserving the message of Islam in TCI, based on the Holy Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammed (may peace be upon him)

The Arabic word “Muslim” literally means “someone who is in a state of Islam (submission to the will and law of God)”. The message of Islam is meant for the entire world, and anyone who accepts this message becomes a Muslim. There are over a billion Muslims worldwide. Muslims represent the majority population in fifty-six countries. Many people are surprised to know that the majority of Muslims are not Arab. Even though most Arabs are Muslims, there are Arabs who are Christians, Jews and atheists. Only 20 percent of the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims come from Arab countries. There are significant Muslim populations in countries all throughout the globe, from all different races, ethnic groups, cultures and nationalities. Islam has always been a universal message for all people. Islam is the second largest religion in the world, yet, few people know about Islam and its message, that there is only One God, without any partners. God in Islam is strictly singular, unique and inherently One. Some of the other attributes are the Creator, Sustainer, Ordainer, All-Merciful, All-Powerful, All-Knowing, Judge of the Universe and Omnipotent.
