Description
The Pocatello Mosque is a community-focused hub for Muslim residents and students in Southeastern Idaho, run by the Islamic Society of Southeastern Idaho (ISSI). Established in 2014, the mosque is more than a place of prayer; it is a center for education, socialization, and outreach. The former Mexican restaurant was purchased and converted into the mosque to provide a permanent, known location for the region's growing Muslim community. With its welcoming atmosphere and prime location near the Idaho State University (ISU) campus, the mosque serves as a vital anchor for the local Muslim community.
