Description
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.
Key Features
Unique Circular Architecture: The building has a distinctive circular concrete structure with a carefully textured exterior that mimics stone.
Daily & Friday Prayers: The mosque is open for all five daily prayers as well as formal Jumu'a (Friday) prayers.
Community Focus: The congregation is known for its friendly atmosphere and the community often hosts Iftars during the month of Ramadan.
Accessibility: The location is wheelchair accessible and has on-street parking nearby.
Educational Resources: The interior houses shelves with numerous copies of the Qur'an, including Spanish translations.
Future Expansion Plans: There are plans to build a dedicated women's section on a second floor to better accommodate all members of the community.
