About Kilmore ICC
Our Mission
A historic opportunity has opened in Kilmore, Victoria: to convert and restore a heritage-listed church building at 25 Powlett Street into a fully functional mosque and Community Centre that serves the growing Muslim community in the region. We invite you to partner in this sadaqa‑i câriye so that generations can pray, learn Qur’ân, and gather for Jumu‘ah in a house of Allah.
“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” (Narrated by Uthman bin Affan)

What is Islam
Islam's 5 Pillars
Islam rests upon five pillars of faith that shape the heart and connect each day to the remembrance of God through action and service. While there is much more to being a Muslim than these five pillars alone, Islam is built upon them, and every Muslim—one who submits to the will of God—must honour and uphold their obligations.
1. Declaration of Faith (Shahada)
“Lā ilāha illā Allāh, Muḥammadun rasūl Allāh.”
“There is nothing worthy of worship other than God, and Muhammad is God’s Messenger.”
This vow is Islam’s foundation. It centers life on one Loving Creator and invites a person to walk in the Prophet’s example—truthful, compassionate, and sincere
What is Islam
2. Performing the 5 Daily Prayers (Salat)
The five daily prayers are the second pillar of Islam and the heart’s daily meeting with Allah. They are fard (obligatory) at their appointed times:
- Fajr (2 rakʿahs): from true dawn until sunrise
- Ẓuhr (4): after the sun passes its zenith until mid-afternoon
- ʿAṣr (4): mid-afternoon until just before sunset
- Maghrib (3): right after sunset until twilight fades
- ʿIshāʾ (4): after nightfall until Fajr; Witr follows ʿIshāʾ (highly emphasized)
What is Islam
3. Zakat (Charity)
Giving to charity, which is a compulsory tax of a percentage of one's wealth to benefit the poor, needy and destitute.
What is Islam
5.Hajj (Pilgrimage)
The fifth and final pillar of Islam, is the sacred pilgrimage to Mecca. It is required once in a lifetime for Muslims who are physically and financially able to.
