Formerly the Lenox Casino, this building was reborn as a mosque following the assassination of Malcolm X and became the center of Muslim life in Harlem. The 1965 renovation by Sabbath Brown introduced the traditional features of middle-eastern architecture such as arches and the aluminum dome, once topped by a golden crescent.

| | NR I have not been to this mosque, but I don't understand why BrianMuhammad refers to Elijah Muhammad as "The Hon. Elijah Muhammad"? What is honorable about a known con man? I don't know what the current status of this mosque is, maybe it truly is "traditional Sunni" as stated by Salatomatic. But according to BrianMuhammad it was founded by "Minister" Louis Farrakhan, who of course is not a Muslim. The "Nation of Islam" is not Islam, and there is nothing "honorable" about them. |

| | ★★★★ The historic Mosque was the historic Mosque #7 where Malcolm X taught. After his untimely assassination in 1965, the building was fire bombed burned down. The Hon. Elijah Muhammad purchased the propoerty and built the structure in the picture and assigned Min. Louis Farrakhan as spiritual head of the Mosque. He lead it from 1965-1975. The building was reopenned after its construction in 1968. During the mid 70's-80', the Masjid was lead by Imam Ali Rashid until his death, replaced by the current leader, Imam Izak el Mu'heed Pasha. |

| | ★★★★★ I've been there for several Jummah services. The masjid has a mostly african american muslim crowd, some arab and S. Asians. Very very friendly. The brothers are helpful and will guide you to the women's area, which is clean. Clear view of the imam during Kutba but you can also stay in a back room if you'd like and often children stay there with mothers. |
