    I came across Islam a few years back but I never got the opportunity to visit a mosque before IIOC, but as a revert it was the best first experience I could've had in a mosque due to all the programs and events that IIOC hosts. My favorite it's the "New Muslin Program" , I visit the classes every Sunday for the new muslins every week for like a month and finally made the decision to revert and SubHanAllah I was able to take my Shahada there together with other 3 persons that also revert with me and as of today we are 1 month and 19 days being Muslim Alhamdulillah!. IIOC has helped me not only with my getting closer to Allah hunger but also in other aspects of my life, like mental wellbeing and over all we are one big family especially for the younger ones they offer lost of programs for them too like summer school and they try to offer day care as much as they can so you can go to your onsite classes and they also have a shaded playground in the back. Teens are also encouraged to go they do a lot of events for them as well specially during summer. IIOC is my favorite mosque I drive from La puente to go to the events they host during the week as they are really about family and keeping the community together specially bringing in new people and showing them the mercy of Allah The most merciful landing a hand to our brothers and sisters specially from other religions that are curious about Islam. They also have social media accounts where they post about the upcoming events so you can know when to go.

    Salaam Aleikum! My journey to Islam began back in 2017, when I visited Dubai & a couple other countries in the gcc. I'll never forget hearing the Adhan at Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, it was life changing. After my trip, I read the Qur'an in & I was shocked at how it sounded just like the Bible! You see, I was raised in a Baptist household, but only went to Sunday church until I was 5. Other than that, I wouldn't consider my family too hardcore religious. However I never felt a spiritual connection with the Bible & it wasn't until visiting the Middle East is when I turned over a new chapter in my life! Subhanallah. Before even visiting IIOC in person, I was so nervous lol. Silly I know!!! What initially drew me in, was watching some of the events on YouTube (just look up journey to Islam), & hearing other converts' stories. It was heartwarming & didn't seem so intimidating after all! This is the place to go if you're considering Islam, or if you're just curious about the religion. I never felt one ounce of judgement & brother Jamaal is the welcome wagon of IIOC! He is so knowledgeable & very easy to talk to. Their outreach department is amazing & they do quite a nice job of helping new muslims on their journey, since everyone goes through it differently, & can feel very overwhelming at first. It's amazing to connect with all walks of life. I can't say enough good things about this program! Special shoutout to Shakyh Mustafa Umar who does an amazing job of embracing American culture without letting go of Islamic values. It's so hard to find an imam who has the perfect balance... & isn't stuck in the Stone Age or isn't biased to one culture. He does a great job of separating cultural traditions from Islamic law/beliefs. I can't wait until this pandemic is over & inshallah there will be more events to attend! Right now everything is virtual which is a buzzkill.

    This is the best Mosque that I have been to in the United States. First off, the mosque is absolutely beautiful. The mosque is designed in a traditional fashion with tiles and carvings. It also includes a minbar and a mihrab (traditional architectural designs of a mosque). The mosque has many windows, giving it a nice airy feel. Also, the women's section has a TV to watch the sermon, plus it is open to view the men's side and the imam. I like not being completely cut-off from the imam. It makes me feel more connected with the sermon. Secondly, the group that attends the mosque is international. I saw descendants from Africa, East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Thirdly, this group is involved in the community. They do everything from set up events to help single people find partners to running blood drives. They also have a really nice website that includes the Friday sermon if you miss it or want to re-hear it! Finally, the imam Shaikh Muhammad ibn al-Faqih is young and motivated. His sermon was well prepared and researched. It is evident that this imam has been educated in Islam. His voice is clear and well spoken. Anything he says in Arabic, he translates into English (including the du'a). Overall, this is a Mosque I will be returning to.

    I expected a better experience here but was disappointed. The environment felt unwelcoming and…read moredisorganized, and it did not have the same sense of community I've experienced at Cypress Masjid. After visiting both places, I honestly felt that Cypress Masjid is much more organized, friendly, and comfortable for worship. Unfortunately this visit did not meet expectations.

    Correct, protect, and perfect your belief/ iman!…read more TL;DR: My favorite Islamic center in OC! This is where I became Muslim! They teach and spread the authentic knowledge of Islam, have fun events for the whole family, and it's an amazing place to build a strong foundation for your child's faith while living in America! :) To truly worship God means to understand what MUST befit God and what God is clear of! Imam Al-Ghazzaliyy said what means: The worship is not valid except after knowing the One who is Worshipped (i.e. God/ Our Creator) By the Will of God, it is by learning and applying the knowledge of Ahlus Sunnah that we can protect ourselves from the evil of the devils among the humans and jinn. Protect yourself and loved ones by learning and teaching the knowledge of the religion that every accountable person is obligated to know to ensure their beliefs and acts of worship are valid! The family fun events they host are a blast! From picnics in the park to madih nights, it's a great way for the whole community to come together! May God continue to protect and bless this association and those who dedicate themselves to defending the beautiful religion of Islam!
