Map and Directions to Al Sabur
History of Al Sabur Mosque
Al Sabur Mosque was founded in 1989 in order to better serve the growing Muslim popuation of Cape Hazard. Founded by Imam Mohammad Badawi, an American citizen who emigrated from Egypt in 1968, Al Sabur quickly became the solution for a number of Muslim families who disagreed with the politics of other mosques in Cape Hazard.
Imam Badawi was a respected scholar who, while not advocating violence as a solution to conflict in the Middle East, also ardently opposed Israel in its abuse of the Palestinian people. Although the great Imam died in 2005 (Allah rest his soul), he passed leadership to his close associate and student, Hassan Al Sadiq.
Al Sabur Mosque Today
Today, Al Sabur is the second-largest mosque in Cape Hazard, having over 200 members and 400 more irregular attendees at our weekly services. The Al Sabur demographic consists mainly of believers from the Arabian Peninsula and Pakistan, and includes many young Muslim students as well. We are proud to serve the Cape Hazard Muslim Sunni community, offering social and Islamic religious services such as regular prayer services and sermons, Qur’an study courses and groups, couples’ counseling, marriage, funerals, and burials.
