East Plano Islamic Center

What East Plano Islamic Center does

East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), doing business as EPIC Masjid, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit religious and community organization (Tax-ID: 20-0629612) founded in 2015 and headquartered at 4700 14th Street, Plano, TX 75074. It serves the Muslim community of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex through a comprehensive suite of services spanning five daily prayers, Jumu'ah, Ramadan and Eid programming, Janazah (funeral) support, and Nikah (marriage) services. The center is led by Imam Nadim Bashir and operates multiple wholly-owned program brands including EPIC CARES (community services), EPIC Legacy Program (advanced Islamic sciences), EPIC Gym, EPIC Medical Clinic, EPIC Drive-Through Food Pantry, EPIC LABS (STEM education), and QCA School.

The organization runs an educational portfolio that includes Full Time Hifz, Part Time Hifz, Sunday School, Summer School, the Fityah Program, and ESL classes, alongside community services such as the food pantry, social services, financial aid referrals via DFW Muslim Aid, special needs support, and matrimony services delivered through a partnership with Muslim Matrimony Network. The underlying technology stack is conventional community-center infrastructure: a WordPress-hosted website (epicmasjid.org), JotForm for registrations, an authenticated member portal (portal.epicmasjid.org), YouTube and SoundCloud for sermon and lecture distribution, and Constant Contact for email newsletters. EPIC has raised approximately $6.56M in community pledges between 2013 and 2014 to fund a multi-phase facility expansion culminating in a 32,000 sq. ft. main campus with 3,200 prayer spaces.

EPIC's revenue mechanics are donation-led, supplemented by nominal fees from matrimony services ($100 one-time registration, $25 per half-hour matchmaker call, $100 final contact exchange), gym memberships, and facility rentals. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth, inter-community events (Art Festival, Chaand Raat, Feed the Children, Revert Graduation), and a digital presence across Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, and the member portal. Strategic partners include North Texas Food Bank (Feeding America affiliate), Habitat for Humanity Collin County, Children's Health, Scottish Rite Hospital, Meals On Wheels, ICNA Relief USA, OurCalling, and Heart House. In July 2025, the Texas Funeral Service Commission formally confirmed that EPIC's Janazah services qualify as not-for-profit religious accommodation.
