>Al-Noor society was established in 1987 in Houston, Texas out of the need for a Islamic Center where the Ahle-Sunnah wal-Jama’at community can commemorate Islamic historic events, maintain the identity of Ahle-Sunnah wal-Jama’at in America, and pass on true Islamic beliefs and traditions to our next generations. By the grace of Allah, in Houston, Al-Noor was the only establishment provided these services. Now Al-Hamdulillah many other organizations in Houston observe these festivities. Our Friday congregation is the largest in Texas and may be in other States, as well. The society enjoys the largest participation of the Muslim community in all our year-round programs. Al-Noor enjoys Non-profit Tax exempt status under IRS (501 C). Al- Alhamdulillah in the middle of 1992, the society managed to find a property within the vicinity to fulfill our needs. Current physical location is 6443 Prestwood Dr., Houston, Texas which is centrally located minutes from downtown Houston. The facility is about two blocks from the major freeway U.S. 59/I 69 @ Hillcroft. The present facility accommodates 1100 people. We have separate prayer halls for men and women, a large dining room, class rooms, and a library. Soon after acquiring the facility at 6443 Prestwood in 1992, a second facility at 225 Maxey Road, Houston TX was acquired to establish a branch of the Main mosque. Al-Noor has invited numerous world renowned scholars to address our congregation at special events for last thirty (30) years. In 2012, with the goal to produce Islamic scholars (Ulema) locally, Al-Noor Institute of Islamic Sciences (AIIS) was established. This institute offers three-year fulltime and five-year part time Alim programs. So far, Eight Alims have graduated from Al-Noor Institute.

in the last weekVisited during Ramadan. The mosqueโs interior is beautifully decorated, with a spacious, clean women's area on the second floor. You can view the main prayer hall through a glass window. The mosques provides iftar during Ramadan, which is a great gesture. However, parking is limited, and during Jumma or Ramadan prayers, people often park on the road, leading to traffic jams and even accidents. A larger parking space would greatly improve the experience.

8 months agoNice masjid (facility for prayer) easily accessible from 69. Offer all the prayers and other regular services generally associated with mosques Masjid has clean and well maintained facility for wudu (ablution) and has ample parking space. Would be a little tough for Friday prayer, but one can park in the street as well

2 years agoBeautiful and Huge Mosque. Its exterier is very elegant. I loved the red brick color. There is a spacious parking lot. The Sisters area is upstairs. The carpet looked brand new and I was really impresses by the size of the prayer hall. May Allah reward all those involved in building it. We prayed peacefully while visiting Houston and would love to visit again.

2 years agoBeautiful humongous masjid. It holds over 200 people for the women. When you enter, thereโs a place for shoes and I loved that there were elevators for anyone unable to walk up the stairs. I came here three times while visiting Houston and loved that it was open and I had a place to pray peacefully with no interruptions
