Mosque of Shaikh M. R. Bawa MuhaiyaddeenIn May of 1984, barely six months after construction began, the exquisitely decorated Mosque of Shaikh M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen was officially opened, in a beautiful, moving dedication ceremony.

The entire congregation recited the Suratul- Fatihah, and the Mu'azzin gave the call to prayer. In the talk that followed Shaikh M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen reminds those present that "unity is the noblest ideal in our life."

In that spirit of unity and love, this Mosque, built by the members of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship has been opened for the five daily prayers (salat), Jum'ah prayers every Friday, as well as for early morning dhikr recitation (remembrance of God). We offer classes in Arabic, Qur'an recitation, Salat and introductory classes in Islam.
