Masjid Abu Bakr is a predominantly Sunni mosque with an Arab-American congregation located at 948 62nd St, Oakland, CA 94608. Originally a residential house, the land was donated after an unfortunate fire, leading to the construction of the current unique, circular concrete building. It offers a peaceful and friendly environment for daily prayers and community gatherings, focusing on spiritual development and fostering a sense of unity among its members. Services are conducted in Arabic and then repeated in English.
