Masjid Sabiqun of Baton Rouge opened its doors to evacuees fleeing New Orleans after the Hurricane Katrina disaster. From August 27 to October 15, 2005, 140 victims (Muslims and non-Muslims alike) of Hurricane Katrina were given shelter, food and other relief at the mosque.

Masjid Sabiqun is also known as the Islamic Complex, and is located just north of the LSU campus. The atmosphere is friendly, and gender equitable. Women can and do serve in the administrative structure. Other expressions of Islam are welcome. A traditional Sunni mosque, shia members have a Thursday night gathering, and sometimes give the khutbah. There is no barrier in the main hall, no separate room for women. Children are taught to behave. The premises are clean and inviting.   Last updated 2 years ago

★★★★  I have attended this mosque on occasion, and find the tolerance for pluralism wonderful. The mosque is run by an Imam who has served this community for a number of years. I once remarked on the remarkable tolerance for various expressions of Islam to particpate there, and he replied 'As long as it doesn't take one from the Qur'an.'

The mosque is primarily African American who have been in the community for a long time. People of other backgrounds also regularly attend.

This mosque is a shining light, and I have been to many mosques. I am planning to start attending regularly, insha'Allah.
