About Us
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakathuhu.
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you.
Welcome to the website of As-Salaam Foundation. As-Salaam Foundation, located in Ueno, Tokyo, is a non-profit, non-political, religious and educational institute.
The purpose of this foundation is to provide dawah services to the Japanese and to establish masjids and gathering places for the growing muslim population in Japan. We are hoping to become a bridge between the local Japanese and the muslim communities for mutual understanding. Assalaam Foundation has two separate entities in the same building: community center on the 1st floor and prayer halls on the upper levels.
As-Salaam building was completed in 2011 and the foundation became an official religious corporation in 2014.
