I have been taking lots of photos of Christian religious buildings, so I thought I would show other types of religious buildings in Regina.
This is the Regina Islamic Centre & Mosque. I couldn't find out any history about when it was built on the Islamic Association of Saskatchewan's website, but I did find out more about the proud history of Muslims in Regina.
One of the first Muslim community leaders in Regina was named Muhammad Ali Tahaynee (Haynee), who immigrated from North Dakota. He and his wife raised 17 children in Regina. He owned Ali's Fancy Notions and acted as an interpreter for both new Muslim immigrants and the RCMP. Haynee Street in Regina is named in his honor.
