In 2013 the school and its affiliated mosque planned a new campus in the former Woodmont AcademyinCooksville, Western Howard County. Several area residents objected to the redevelopment plan proposed to the county government on the grounds that it would interfere with the area's rural character.[3] In 2013, former James N. Robey aide Sang Oh representing Dar-us-Salaam, an Islamic organization that operates Al Huda, petitioned Howard County to rezone the Woodmont Property.[4] The zoning application was dropped, but plans to move the Dar-us-Salaam facility from College Park to Cooksville proceeded as a conditional use.[5]
The school has prayer hall that's open to public outside school hours. During school season they offer jumu'ah at an alternate nearby place.[6]
