1st Jummah: 1:00 PM, Iqama (estimate): 1:30 PM
Muslims have had a presence in Berkeley for over a half century, and yet no masjid exists within the city. This is attributable, in part, to the fact that the majority of Muslims in Berkeley are students who are not only transient residents of the city, but also have very limited time and financial resources.
Over the past 15 years, an active effort has been underway by the BMF to establish a masjid situated close to the UC campus for students and other Berkeley residents. The process has been a long and arduous one due the limited resources of the intended patrons of the Masjid (i.e. students). By Allah’s grace, their efforts have resulted in the purchase of the present property at 2716 Derby Street.

a year agoThis mosque is the biggest one in Berkeley, and it holds prayers five times a day, plus Friday prayer. They also offer Islamic classes a few nights a week, and on weekends, there's Sunday school for the kids. The building has two floors: the first floor is designated for women, while the second floor is for men. I hold an emotional connection to this place, filled with countless cherished memories. The Ramadan I spent here stands out as one of the most remarkable experiences of my life. I made wonderful friends and became part of a warm, supportive, and welcoming community. During Ramadan, there are volunteer activities: cooking and preparing iftar meals to share with others. I met many devout and kind-hearted individuals here. One thing that I envied, during the last ten days of Ramadan, many young people gathered here (something I rarely see in my home country). In the spring, the cherry blossom trees in front of the mosque bloom beautifully, making it a perfect spot for photos.

4 months agoNice mosque in a good location. Parking can be tricky. But mosque is clean and spacious. Always open for worshippers to drop in pray individually if congregational prayer has been missed by you.
