Mubarak Mosque, Ahmadiyya mosque in Saint-Prix, Val-d'Oise, France

Mubarak Mosque is a simple building in Saint-Prix, a suburb near Paris, with space for about 400 people during prayer times. The interior features clean floors and organized rows, creating a straightforward setting where worshippers and visitors gather for prayer and community events.

Built in 2008, this mosque was the first structure constructed by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community specifically as a mosque in France. This project marked an important step in establishing the community's presence in French society.

The mosque's name appears twice on the facade: a white arched panel reads "MASJID MOUBARAK" above the Arabic "مسجد مبارك". The Ahmadiyya community, considered heretical by other branches of Islam, built it as its first mosque in France. Inside, the prayer hall is a wide open room with teal carpet stripes and a pale green recessed arch, with no images or ornament.

Located on Rue Louis et Gérald Donzelle, the mosque is easily accessible by car or public transport from Paris. The community there is helpful and open to visitors with questions about the space or their faith practices.

The mayor, Jean-Pierre Enjalbert, first opposed the Ahmadiyya mosque, then approved it after years of meeting the community; he said what reassured residents was having observed how its members act. The mosque was inaugurated on 10 October 2008 by Mirza Masroor Ahmad, head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Only one other Ahmadiyya place of worship has opened in France since, at Matoury in French Guiana.
