The Lighthouse Mosque was founded in 2007 by Imam Zaid Shakir. The community of the Lighthouse is diverse and tries to adhere to the teaching of Allah's final Messenger PBUH. Currently the Lighthouse is run by a Majlis Shura consisting of 5 brothers and 3 sisters. It is located in North Oakland and has a rotating group of teachers and speakers that teach classes and delivered khutbah. May Allah continue to bless the Lighthouse community with informative classes, lectures and a healthy spirit of teamwork and brotherhood. May Allah bless all the Muslims with good in this world and good in the next and may He save us from the fire.

4 months agoStopped by for jummah today from out of town, and it was worth the visit. Itโs a quaint mosque with a sisters section on the right. Food is offered after prayer and there seems to be regular programming open to all. Also impressed that there seems to be an adjacent boxing gym where some of the brothers go. May Allah bless this community and its founders.

a year agoAmazing African American Brother, Amazing Masjid, Amazing Shaykh El Bakri. I wish this Masjid can expand more. It was full MashaAllah. You can find free food and cheap books outside. Shaykh said to do three things daily, 1. Read couple verses of Quran with Tafseer 2. Do Zikr it doesn't require much efforts. 3. Pray Tahajud Qiam at Night before Fajr. JAZAKALLAH

a year agoIf I say that I love this place, it means I said nothing. This place is my second home. This mosque is pretty diverse and has a unique vibe that you might not find anywhere else. All brothers are super welcome, and our lovely Imam Sundiata drives this community. Alhamdulillah for this blessing. We have multiple events, like free Arabic/Qur'an classes, BBQ, American flag football and poetry nights. Come to Jumah (1:30 pm summer/winter), chat with brothers, come to events.
