Muslim Community Association - Santa Clara, California

GHOUSE M.

The Muslim Community Association (MCA) in Santa Clara, California, is a vibrant and well-maintained Islamic center that serves as a focal point for the local Muslim community. Your visit there for the Maghrib prayer on Arafat Day must have been a special experience. You were pleasantly surprised by the community’s hospitality, as they provided dates and water, along with fruits, for breaking the fast. The evening was further enhanced by a delicious dinner, showcasing the community's generosity and warmth.

The mosque itself is impressive, with separate, spacious prayer areas (musallahs) for both men and women. It includes a function hall, a school, a playground, a cafeteria, and ample parking space, making it a comprehensive facility for various community needs. The well-maintained premises and the array of services and facilities reflect the dedication of the MCA to serving its members and fostering a strong sense of community.

Coming from the Middle East, you found the MCA to be one of the best centers you have encountered in the United States, indicating the high standards of upkeep and the inclusive, welcoming atmosphere it offers.

Amazing Islamic center! It's huge! There is a large variety of parking spaces, it has a playground and a basketball court, and it has a cafeteria and a cafe too.

It’s a wonderful place to be there. They serve great number of services including school. Urdu language and Arabic language course. And the women committee is very well organized there.

Very impressive masjid. The men’s musallah can hold at least 1000 people, with multiple entrances surrounding it. Same for parking- it encircles there whole building, with overflow parking available curb side along the street. Because of that, congestion isn’t a big problem during jumua’ah.
Wudu facilities are excellent.
They have a cafe just outside the musallah as well.

This is a mosque/community center for Muslims and they have a halal cafe/restaurant in there as well. Went to see a friend there and tried some food from the cafe. I ordered some premade hot items ready to go. I picked up chicken and beef samosas, chicken turn overs, calzone gyro and shawarma. Food was to be honest not too good. It was ok.

Best masjid overall in the Bay Area. I grew up here and the services are outstanding and unparalleled in the area. There is a great variety of activities to engage in and the community is always vibrant. It’s a welcoming place for all ages and races. It wasn’t until I visited other mosques as a kid that I realized what tremendous blessing it is to go to such a masjid. Just keep in mind, since this is one of, if not the most diverse Muslim community in the Bay Area, the views and opinions of the board, imams, and activities are not a monolith and their are various mathahib (schools of thought) and groups to hang around with.

Great local community mosque. Great place for daily prayer; Friday prayer and Eid prayer Alhamdullilah. Good leadership and facilities. The only feedback is parking is challenging on Friday so please come early
