Islamic Center of Santa Cruz

We were there just before magrib prayer while we were going back home from santa cruz. When we got there there was no one. It was Just like a abandoned house. Door was locked, we knocked but nobody responded. Then we found a phone number by the door. We called and someone told us the code to unlock the main door, mens, and womens restroom. Finding the restroom was a bit tricky. Me, my father, mother, and my brother we all performed the magrib prayer there. On our way out we locked the doors. It was a nice experience that I never had before.

A really welcoming community. There’s Equitable space for sisters with simple 3/4 divider and working speakers. The building has A small kids room off the main space, and restrooms outside along the side for wudu. Inside bookshelves have many Quran and books to borrow, with bins of clothes and mats. Ramadan Iftar & Eid are full of folks and food from everywhere. The leadership are really thoughtful and involved.

Alhamdulillah It was very wonderful because I can meet many friends during the Ramadan Iftar,Inshaallah If I get a chance I will come back to Santa Cruz.thank you also to my brother Wayez Ahmad for inviting me to join the iftar and tarawih.

We prayed Jumah at this masjid. The khutbah was impactful and the recitation in salat, moving. Kind congregants too. Alhamdulillah

We stopped here for prayer but didn't know the access code. I called the given number multiple times, but no one received it.
