Diyanet Center of America

The Diyanet Center of America is an Islamic organization and mosque located near Washington, D.C., featuring multiple buildings spread across a large property. The facility includes a mosque with classical Ottoman-style architecture, a cultural center, sports facilities, a restaurant, and additional guest and recreational spaces.

The organization was founded in 1993 as the Turkish American Islamic Foundation and later evolved into what is known today as the Diyanet Center. Over time, the organization expanded its operations and presence to better serve its growing community.

The center serves as a gathering place where people come together for prayer, religious celebrations, and community events throughout the year. Visitors can observe how worshippers engage with their traditions and participate in seasonal festivities that bring many families together.

The site is located in a suburban area with parking available on the property. Visitors should check ahead about visiting hours, especially if they want to attend specific prayer times or community events.

The facility uses a geothermal well system to power its operations, making it an environmentally conscious choice. The organization also maintains connections with mosques and prayer centers across several states, extending its reach well beyond the local area.
