Masjid Al-Tawheed - Talent, OR

Masjid Al-Tawheed, also known as the Islamic Center of Southern Oregon (ICSO), serves as the sole mosque for a diverse and thriving Muslim population between Northern California and Central Oregon. Built with community donations, it is a spiritual haven dedicated to peace, justice, and compassion, drawing inspiration from the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The center is a vibrant, inclusive hub where people from different backgrounds—including Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the U.S.—come together for worship, education, and community fellowship. It fosters a welcoming environment with strong interfaith relationships and a commitment to serving not only its congregation but the wider community, especially as it rebuilt after the Almeda Fire.
