Suraya Mosque, Islamic mosque in Torreón, Mexico.

The Suraya Mosque features a 10-meter minaret and incorporates Mozarabic architectural elements into its structural design, integrating both Islamic and Hispanic traditions.

Completed in 1989 following three years of construction, the Suraya Mosque stands as the first purpose-built Islamic house of worship established in Mexico.

The mosque serves as a central gathering place for the Shia Muslim community, which traces its roots to Middle Eastern immigrants who arrived in Torreón during the early 1900s.

Regular prayer services, educational programs, and community activities take place within the mosque, which maintains an open-door policy for visitors interested in Islamic practices.

Before the construction of this mosque, approximately 35 descendants of first-generation immigrants established an Islamic meeting house in 1983 under Hassan Zain Chamut's leadership.
