Sharon Mosque, Islamic center in Sharon, Massachusetts, US
Description
Sharon Mosque is an Islamic center in Massachusetts built on land that was once used for farming. The building has a large prayer hall that holds several hundred people and additional spaces for classes and community events.
History
The center was founded in 1993 by Arab-American immigrants from the Quincy area who wanted to establish a mosque in Sharon. It grew from efforts to expand an existing Islamic organization that already served communities in New England.
Culture
The mosque serves as a gathering place for Muslims from different branches of Islam to pray and celebrate religious holidays together. Visitors can see how Sunni and Shia communities share the space for both worship and social events.
Practical
The building is located in Sharon away from the town center but is relatively easy to reach by car. Before visiting, check prayer times in advance and familiarize yourself with modest dress expectations for entering the prayer hall.
Did you know?
The facility houses a school that provides Islamic instruction to children from the area during weekdays and weekends. This education program is deeply woven into the mosque's work and has served multiple generations of families in the region.
