This is the first Masjid I ever entered. I was overwhelmed by a sense of peace & solitude. I was greeted kindly by the brothers & recited the Shahada becoming Muslim the first appearance. Since then I have learnt prayer, to read some Arabic & Islamic etiquette. I am greatly appreciative to all the brothers and the patience, kindness & guidance the Imam has blessed me with. I have grown to care about so many Muslims within the Ummah especially those who I have grown to love like family. May ALLAH (swt) Cherish & Care for this Glorious Al-Noor Foundation.

Al-Noor Foundation - Mosques Near Me - Westminster, California

Very respectable place. I like the people and the community in this place. The Imam is very humble and helpful.

I donated scarves here awhile ago with my friend Mohammed and they gave me all the appropriate attire to where while entering the Mosque. (i loved That) they were very welcoming and they also gave us a tour of the building as well as how long it's been around. I would recommend this one because of how friendly and it has a lot of natural light that enter in through the windows. It also wasn't to stuffy either. read more

Beautiful mosque. Very peaceful environment, elegantly designed with attention to detail in evey inch. Always impeccably clean. In the wudu room there are automatic water faucets that turn warm. The people are respecufl of eachother. There Friday service is in arabic, but they do not mind if you bring a translation device. A few times i been there they had a famous guest imam. Parking does not seem to be a real big issue like some of the other mosques ive been to in California. Remember if you can always donate, do not let the looks fool you the upkeep of a mosque can be very costly. As far as the imam goes in my experience he has been always respectful and does not act like he owns the mosque which i found to be comforting. Give the guy a break, the cultre shock/language barrier alone is hard enough. read more

The two stars go to the upkeep of the Masjid, however, the Imam is a joke. The guy is "maybe" qualified to lecture somewhere in rural Egypt but certainly not in the OC. We have some really intellectual and interesting individuals in this community, Imam need to be up to par when addressing on the minbar. The Imam is giving Islam a bad name, of course not intentionally but out of ignorance. This community and Masjid deserve someone qualified to lead and be a role model. Board members can't you see that the number of followers is diminishing to an embarrassing two prayer lines on Friday in the midst of Ramadan, let go the rest of the year. don't you guys see how other Masjids in the area are overflowing with followers. Dude, this Imam must go. read more

New masjed for the community.. Thanks to all people who participated in making this happen.. read more

See all

Have been part of this foundation over 5 years. As a Muslim i feel so happy to be here. Everyone is so friendly so warm so welcoming to everyone. Sometimes They invite member of all the religions, and they asked people to serve to those guests and a lot of volunteers to serve to those guests. This is not a business and everyone is volunteered. So it would not make any sense to expect something what you expect from a business. They will do anything to make you feel safe and welcomed. During the Ramadan everyone donates or brings food for iftaar and sahoor. Imam Ibrahim is so friendly as other members of the masjid. Love this masjid and people there. read more

Very disappointing place with an ignorant Sheik. I called and spoke with the Sheik to have an official Islamic marriage. No big ceremony, we already became legally married at the courthouse, we just wanted to come in with some family to have the Islamic prayers and rites performed to be "Islamic-ly married". The Sheik said that was fine and gave us a date to show up to the Mosque. He was late, only showing up until it actually became prayer time, then after prayers were finished he still ignored us. The administrative lady was kind and helpful and only thanks to her we got his attention. He spoke with my father. My father is Iranian and was raised Shia muslim, but he, nor we, care for any of these distinctions (Sunni, Shia, Sufi... there's only one God - and we don't care for politics). But the Sheik does play politics. And he turned us away because of that. My father was friendly and respectful with the Sheik, but the Sheik was cold, despondent, and ignorant. He completely wasted our time coming there, and left us with a foul taste in our mouths from this Mosque. A couple of the men who came to prayer saw us near the parking lot and talked with us, and we told them what happened, and they were understanding and agreed with my father about how these politics shouldn't matter, we're all humans under one God, etc. They even tried to find us a "Shia" mosque on their phone where we might be able to go to have our marriage rites performed. I don't live in the area, we were just in town to visit family, and we went to this Mosque because it was nearby my parent's home; we found it online. But I would earnestly discourage anyone from ever going to this place, especially someone who is interested in learning more about Islam. Because this place is led by a close minded, ignorant man, who is more politician than holy person. Places like this truly give a bad name to the pure teachings of Islam and are causes for all the negative stereotyping. But honestly, muslim or not, this guy really sucked. read more

I'm always happy to visit a new Masjid, All praise is due to the Almighty for his blessing of guidance. Very nice, clean and tidy Masjid with a good library and facilities. A little bit hard to find the admins there but it is a welcoming community and they have a good number of programs for the whole family. May Allah bless their efforts and guide them to what he pleases. read more
