About Masjid America

The Masjid America is a non-profit religious organization whose fundamental purpose is to encourage and enable Muslims with the basic knowledge and competence in Islam to contribute individually and collectively toward meeting human needs.
At the heart of any Muslim community, a Mosque (Arabic: Masjid) can be found. Mosques are the beating heart of our community and stand as a physical example of our faith. A mosque provides us with so much more than a simple house of worship though, it is a precious sanctuary that provides a place for individual enlightenment, education and moral guidance; where we teach our children about the Quran, where we come to honor and worship Allah and where we can come together for special occasions in the community, such as holidays, weddings and funerals. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) even helped in the construction of the first mosque in Medina, as it was part of his will to define a place of worship for Muslims everywhere.
