The American Albanian Islamic Center of Wisconsin (AAICW), also known as Masjid Tawheed, sits at 6001 88th Avenue in Kenosha. It was established in 1979 by 25 founding members who had immigrated from Europe to meet the needs of a growing Albanian Muslim community in southeastern Wisconsin. The center is organized as a non-profit association and operates as a Sunni mosque.
AAICW represents Muslims across Kenosha, Racine, and Milwaukee, along with other neighboring cities in southeastern Wisconsin. While the center was founded to serve Albanian Muslims, it welcomes worshippers from all ethnic backgrounds, and one self-described directory lists its members as predominantly Albanian, Arab, and South Asian.
Programming centers on congregational prayers, including Friday Jumu'ah, alongside teaching circles and educational activities held at the center. The organization also describes its mission as preserving and promoting Albanian culture, traditions, and history through social events in Wisconsin, and it offers guidance about Islam to both Muslims and non-Muslims who reach out.
Imam Mafiz Rustemi is listed as the center's imam in Albanian community directories. The main contact line is (262) 654-0575, and the organization maintains its website at aaicwi.org along with a Facebook presence under the name American Albanian Islamic Center of Wisconsin.
