Islamic Association of Greater Detroit (IAGD) was founded in 1978 by immigrants from South Asia and the Middle East. After IAGD was formed, it purchased the current property situated in the city of Avon Township. Eventually, the city name changed to Rochester Hills, Michigan. On this property was a "Blue House" which was used as a meeting place and Sunday Islamic School. As the community grew and during the construction of the original mosque, IAGD rented the Larson Middle School in Troy, Michigan for its Sunday School as well as community dinners. IAGD has had a tradition of holding a community dinner on the first Saturday of each month for the past 30 years. The original mosque included a prayer space, social hall, and kitchen. IAGD moved into the newly built facility in 1982.
