Islamic Center of San Diego

Mashallah, very nice people! welcoming ! A Lot of events to attend to, full of people at all prayers, may god provide the jannah for all the brothers and sisters !

Alhamdu lellah that we have this masjid in San Diego. Shiek Abdul Jalil and Shiek Taha are great resource for the community in San Diego. The masjid is clise to the 15 and Balboa Ave

I go to this mosque sometimes for women’s Quran study groups, and I participate in some community activities. Honestly, some of the women in this mosque, and other mosques that I have attended to will rudely try to correct the way you pray. I love participating in the community activities, but when it comes to praying I rather do it at home.

Bismillah,
This Islamic center is a gem in this community. Where could i start, everyone from the Imams to the store keeper, are polite, helpful, and full of good character mash Allah.
The have frequent events, and classes to help the community learn and unite.
The prayer area is beautiful and is kept clean.
The children that are there for school aren’t loud, but instead very well behaved. Masha Allah.
They also have a separate room for women who have kids & babies during the kutbah.
Book store with great books, cds and other goodies (clothes, snacks, honey.)
There is variety of brothers and sisters who attend. Variety of age.

My journey to Islam started out different seeing as I didn’t know any Muslims, after messaging a few mosques in San Diego on Facebook to get more information about Islam, ICSD was the only mosque that replied… I went in and was graciously given a Quran and information by the generous and kind office staff. Shortly after I took my shahadah and have recently started going to Jumu’ah prayer and some of the meetings they offer. I live in north county and this center is very much worth the drive, I always feel welcome – even as a new revert who doesn’t know too many people in this community. All of the khutbas and lectures given by Sheikh Abdeljalil are relatable and beautifully given! I thank God that somehow I found myself at this point and coming to this masjid:)

This masjid is a beauty. I just wish I lived more closer. It’s a wonderful place to pray your Asr prayer. Love it!

The biggest mosque of San Diego

This is where I converted… I have to give it 5 stars. Alhamdulillah.

Today’s wonderful sermon was about giving Goodness.

I have been coming to ICSD since 1996 and its one of my favorite Islamic Centers. As you enter the main doors you enter a courtyard and from there you enter the vast prayer room. For women the prayer room is on the second floor. There are shoe racks on both sides of the courtyard and a multi purpose room and a convenient store for household groceries and snacks. To the right side of the courtyard as well as upstairs is the Islamic School of San Diego that offers KG thru 8^th grade classes.
The center offers all five daily prayers plus friday and eid prayers. In addition nightly prayers are also held in the month of ramadan. There is a large parking lot which fills out very quickly for friday prayers.
On friday there are two prayers offered. Most people try to attend the first prayer so the parking is easier for second prayers. Also, there is lunch available for purchase after the first prayer and is usually sold out by the second prayer.
There is also a library and an office for ICSD as well as an office for ISSD located in the building.
The center offers many sessions for non-​muslims and members of interfaith organizations to visit ICSD and learn about Islam. Please call the center for details.

Went here for Jummah while visiting San Diego. Mashallah A wonderful community. Loved the Friday khutbah, people were very friendly and over all just a wonderful vibe.

as a visiting Muslim, a friend and i found this place via Unilocal and arrived around 1AM. Expecting the doors to be closed like a typical suburban mosque, we were surprised to find it open.
We were able to offer our prayers in peace, and got a glimpse of the community life in this city.
We returned the next day, and observed their primary school in full session, perused the little market.
Overall I was impressed, that a fairly wealthy Muslim community was doing well for itself. The prayer area, the wudu area, the overall space was impressive.
Seeing the number of kids for the school was also nice; observing that Muslim schools are comprised of kids from varied ethnic backgrounds.

I really like this Masjid. very friendly and welcoming. This masjid welcomes non Muslims on Sunday and during the week for questions and tours. I really enjoy that they offer a lot of classes and activities for all levels and that the sisters area is large, clean and has fans for when it gets hot in the summer to help circulate air. Parking is provided. except it is REALLY cramped on Friday’s, so I would suggest getting there at least 15– 30 minutes early in order to get a spot in the lot. ICSD also has a great library although currently the hours are limited. They also offer lectures in the evenings after Isha and sometimes workshops such as the one recently on preventing domestic violence.

Very nice and big Mosque. Performs all the 5 prayers of the day including a big Friday prayer (Jumua). Also actively involved in lot’s of activities (Religious lectures, Youth programs, Quran Tajweed, Community services etc.) for both brother’s and sisters. They have a separate prayer section for sisters.
The center has a small grocery store inside the facility. Also, it has it’s own parking lot. The parking is kind of tight during the Friday player though. But they have a lot of street parkings as well.
