The Muslim Association’s website describes it as “a dynamic charitable, religious, social, cultural, and educational, organization” that builds “faith and community through daily prayers, Jumu’ah services, Quranic studies, and educational programs.” The Association was founded in 1993 and hired its first full-time imam in 2004. The following bio was provided by the Association:

Mohamed Essam Mohamed Ali Abu Deeb is a distinguished scholar and educator in Islamic and Arabic studies. He earned his bachelor's degree from Al-Azhar University, specializing in these fields. Demonstrating exceptional dedication, he has memorized the entire Quran, mastering the recitations of Hafs and Shu'bah from Asim through Al-Shatibiyyah.

Throughout his career, Mohamed has served as an imam and preacher in various mosques across Alexandria and Al-Rehab City in New Cairo. His commitment to teaching is evident in his efforts to instruct individuals of all ages in Quran memorization and Tajweed—the art of proper recitation and pronunciation of the Quran. Under his guidance, numerous students have successfully memorized the Quran, underscoring his significant contribution to the community and the promotion of Islamic education.

In early 2024, Mohamed migrated to the United States and accepted the position of Imam at the Islamic Center of Huntington. He is currently pursuing English language studies at Marshall University to enhance his communication skills and better serve his community.
