Islamic Society of Stillwater
Islamic Society of Stillwater, locally known as ISS,
is the only Islamic center in forty five miles
around the Stillwater area. Decades ago,
muslims in the area bought two single-family
houses and used them for performing prayers
and other Islamic activities. ISS functions from
the same two buildings because currently, we do
not have adequate funds to rebuild the masjid.
However, ISS has made extensive plans to build
a new Islamic center and we are actively seeking
donations for this noble cause.
Stillwater is about an hour's drive from
Oklahoma City, which is the capital city of
Oklahoma. It is also an hour's drive from
Oklahoma's second largest city, Tulsa. Stillwater
has a population of about 55,000. Oklahoma
State University (OSU) has its main campus in
Stillwater and its students account for about
50% of the local Stillwater population.
