Islamic Center of San Antonio |
|
8638 Fairhaven, San Antonio, TX 78229
SUNNI In the early nineties, members of San Antonio's Muslim community began meeting in stores and apartments throughout the city to pray. In 1992, the community pooled resources to purchase the large, open expanse of land on Fairfield Avenue that now houses the Islamic Center of San Antonio, the city's largest mosque. The Center opened in 1997. Today, the Center is rapidly expanding to meet the needs of its 700 regular members. This masjid is heavily involved in interfaith activities. Mosque is largely Arabic and then Indian/Pakistani. Added on June 28, 2005 and last updated 4 years ago |

NR I have visited IslamicCenter of San Antonio quite a few times. The masjid itself is nice and clean, Alhamdulillah. The quality of khutbas is very poor, the speaker yells and sometimes misrepresents Islam in his message saying the things which are not true like if you missed Khutba, then you missed the whole salat (prayer). I would be very cautious to invite non-Moslems to visit as yelling by Imam again makes Islam look bad and no wonder people simply leave. Mothers who bring their little kids who fuss and cry should be given the opportunity to pray separately as it is also very distracting. Regardless, many good people attend this place and it us family friendly. Posted on January 10, 2016 |

★★★☆☆ Most Muslims come to this Masjid because it's the most known (and probably biggest) in town. There are mostly Arabs and American converts here. There used to be a bigger mix but as usual, due to personal interests now unfortunatley there is a Pakistani/Indian masjid, a black masjid, etc.
Specifically with this masjid, they have a nice place to to the wudu. They had a whole separate room for the sisters with one of the special mirrors that they can see the main prayer hall but no one could see in. But then they they decided to do construction there and the women had to pray in the hallway. What an awful and unsafe idea. The imam at the time made good speeches and wasn't really friendly. He saw a friend of mine talking to a man, actually trying to help this immigrant and he got angry and chased her off the grounds throwing rocks. Is this Islam? At the time, I know a few people who were unhappy with the Imam and went to other masjids. I never had any issue with him and I liked the few khutbahs I heard.
Also, since this is the most famous masjid in the area they have a lot of guest speakers which is also a plus. Posted on August 12, 2009 |
