Tina Jagshi doesn’t have such a long commute to make when it’s time for religious services these days. Her old house of worship was in Northlake. Her new one is in Naperville, just off Route 59 near Diehl Road.
“It’s five minutes from my house,” said Jagshi, a neighbor of state Rep. Darlene Senger, R-Naperville.
Senger and an array of other local dignitaries helped a group of area Muslims celebrate the opening of their new meeting place Thursday. Perched on LaSalle Avenue, the Ismaili Jamatkhana hosts activities every day for its members, most of whom are of Indian descent. The Shia branch of Islam follows the spiritual leader His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan, 49th hereditary descendant of Prophet Muhammad.
Covering some 11,500 square feet, the airy facility includes office space, classrooms, meeting areas and a vast room for worship anchored by lush saffron yellow carpeting.

Dear Shabnam, Chicago will be honored to have you and your seniors in (at least two of) our Ismaili Jamat Khanas in Chicagoland area. Our tour guides are multilingual, so language/s will not be an issue at all. Let me know of your day/s of stay in Chicago and I will let the related members of the Ismaili Council know of your intent and arrange your tour accordingly.
Sincerely,
Sadruddin Noorani
