Masjid Bilal Launches Second Phase of Rebuilding Plan

Masjid Bilal Islamic Center is the oldest identifiable Muslim community in Los Angeles. We have been an intricate part of L.A. history for over sixty years.


Thanks to Allah (G-d) the most High, in May of 1973, the community purchased and took possession of an historic three-story brick building located just a few miles from downtown Los Angeles, on an acre of land for $180,000.00. With Brothers working day and night, the building was completely remodeled to accommodate the religious and educational needs of the community.


During the 80's several strong earthquakes rumbled through Los Angeles. Masjid Bilal was especially hit hard and our building had to be demolished. That would begin the community's quest to construct a new religious, educational and business complex.


In 1999, a 3-phased plan for the property was designed by Langdon-Wilson International Architectural Firm. With the help of Councilwoman Rita Walters, the City Zoning Commissioner issued the community official approval for the plans.  


Phase one was to build a modern 16-classroom educational facility, named Bilal Learning Center, which would be completed in 2007. It was built with financial support from Saudi Arabian Businessmen and women, grants from the Islamic Development Bank of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Mohammed Dakhil, Dalal Muhtadi, Talal Zarif and the good charitable believers of Masjid Bilal Islamic Center.


On August 1st, 2016, final design plans for a new masjid and community center were submitted to the Los Angeles Department of Building & Safety by project designer Asad Khan, President of Langdon-Wilson.


On November 17, 2018 Masjid Bilal held the official groundbreaking ceremony for building its new masjid center, after receiving final approval from the city of Los Angeles and Department of Building & Safety.


Our new Masjid complex will be constructed on 56,000 square feet of land currently owned entirely by the Bilal community. Upon completion, this new Islamic Center will serve as a landmark for Muslim culture in Los Angeles. Generations of the city's diverse Islamic community and visitors from across the globe will benefit from this historic effort.
