History of MICC

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

Matsuyama is the capital city in Ehime Prefecture and one of the major cities in Shikoku instead of Tokushima (Tokushima Pref.), Kochi (Kochi Pref.) and Takamatsu (Kagawa). Matsuyama has population of about 520,000 people with density of 1,205/km2. This city is famously known for its onsen (温泉、hot spring in Japanese) especially Dogo Onsen (道後 温泉), believed to be the oldest hot spring bath house in Japan despite of more other historical and cultural places.

MICC was established by some Malaysian students together with Mr. Abu Mahdy Sulaiman Hamanaka in the year of 1981. MICC was held in August 1981 by Yunos, an international student from Pahang, Malaysia, and Japanese Muslim Mr. Abu Mahdy Sulaiman Hamanaka (Rahimahullah) from Matsuyama. Initially, there were only four or five Malaysian students, and they gathered at Yunus's house in Tarumi, Malaysia, and held a study session called "Usura" every Saturday night. After Mr. Yunos returned to Japan, the secretariat moved to the main international student's house.

It was in 1994 that I moved to Dogoimaichi 1-20. It is called "MICC Musalla". A wooden one-story building with a floor area of ​​200 square meters. However, the aging of Musalla, which was located at 1-20 Dogoimaichi, progressed, and in June 2010, Musalla was relocated to 12-38, Dogoimaichi, the same town. In addition, Musalla in Imaichi is adjacent to the neighborhood and was judged to be unsuitable for a large number of people to gather, so in February 2013 it moved to 2-6-3 Heiwadori, Matsuyama City. The entrance faces Heiwa Dori, one of Matsuyama's main roads, and it is also in a good location, almost adjacent to Ehime University across the train street. In 2017 Matsuyama Musalla moved again to Shimizumachi, 3-chōme-83-2, Matsuyama.
