Does anyone know of any Quran only centers or mosques in the Chicago area?

The only one that I know of is Masjid Tucson, the United Submitters Mosque from Rashad Khalifa.

doesnt the quran say the whole world is a mosque?  i think they just used their homes in biblical times?  i dont think it matters where... just start a thing at your place is how it works i guess.

that makes sense
1 Peter 3:15
And the Lord God sanctify in your hearts. And [be] ready always for defence to every one who is asking of you an account concerning the hope that [is] in you, with meekness and fear;

Surah 16:125 Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.


It is an act of virtue to deceive and lie, when by such means the interest of the church might be promoted." -- Bishop Eusebius (260 - 339 CE) Early Catholic church father

Peace Be with you all!

I know our homes or where ever we chose to dedicate as a place to worship God Alone, is a true mosque, but it would be nice if there were some Quran Alone Worship Centers/mosques or just Quran Alone Community Centers located near by. It really makes it hard on Quran Alone Muslims/Submitters to dedicate their homes to God Alone, unless they are single or married to someone with the same beliefs.

A Community Center would be a great idea. It could be used for Meetings, Luncheons/Potlucks, Study Groups for adults and children, Weekly Congregational Salat/Worship services,Feasts/Pilgrimages,and other things.  And those who attend could help with the upkeep and bills if possible. I wonder if tithes or part of them could be used for such a thing?
I would be proud to be able to offer such a thing to our community if I had the funds(which I dont sadly) and if there were several people in the area that wished to attend.

One big issue would be, exactly which version of Quran Alone beliefs would be upheld at said Center and what would people want to call themselves...Quran Alone Muslims,Quran Alone Islam,God Alone Islam,God Alone Muslims,Submission to God,Submitters to God Alone, Community of Submitters to the God, Community Of God Alone-a Quran Alone Congregation, (local name/street name)-God Alone Community Center, Progressive Muslims, etc etc etc. The reason I brought up which beliefs would be uphelp, is because it would probably offer Congregational Services once a week, which would include salat and then during the festival/hajj and also teachings from the Quran would be given, so each Center would have to be based on a common belief, other than Quran Alone, and no other name is to be mentioned during prayers or otherwise alongside Gods.

Sadly this movement will probably never be a "Family Religion" or grow large enough for many of these Centers to pop up,if any,other than Mr.R.Khalifa's Gods Mosque/Masjud Tucson.
"For each congregation, we have decreed rituals that they must uphold. Therefore, they should not dispute with you. You shall continue to invite everyone to your Lord. Most assuredly, you are on the right path." 22:67.

"This (Quran) is a message for you and your people which you shall all be accountable to"  43:44
"Then We revealed to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming previous scriptures, and superseding them. You shall rule among them in accordance with God's revelations, and do not follow their wishes if they differ from the truth that came to you. For each of you, we have decreed different laws and rites. Had God willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He thus puts you to the test through the revelations He has given each of you. You shall compete in righteousness. To God is your final destiny-all of you-then He will inform you of everything you had disputed."  5:48

Salaam Kadeen,

You want to build a community centre, but some people propose to follow the solstice lunar calendar and the ?full scorching moon? as a marker just because they cannot understand how to work out the secret months. Thus everyone save the blind persons would fast separately and celebrate the end of fast feast according to the place of their habitat. How can such a community have a sense of belonging?

Yes! A Community Center would be a great idea but only when there is some sort of unity to start with.

Peace farida,
Like I SAID , if I had the funds, which I dont, I would be proud to serve God and the Community in such a way. :)

Thats why I said,

Sadly it will probably never become a reality other than the few Submitter/Gods Mosque places.

God Bless,
