Assafa Islamic Center
172 Eldridge Street, New York, NY
Assafa Islamic Center is a not-for-profit, religious and non-political organization. The local Muslim community established the center in 1996. Two years later they acquired a city lot at an auction. Currently it is providing services of five-time prayers, weekend school, and Hifzul Qur'an. A diversity of travelers, taxi drivers, professionals, scholars, local musallies, youth, and new Muslims from the expanses of multi-lingual cosmopolitan New York utilize this Islamic center. It is a global microcosm of the Muslim world bursting at the seams. Currently we are providing all kinds of Community and Social and Educational services from our own new six story tower.

Beautiful Masjid. 3rd floor is for the sisters.

The description need to be changed. Masjid is in service on it's own place, not in a temporary location. Nice, clean Masjid.

AlhamdulEllah, this Islamic Center is in the basement of a building next to a grocery. They are raising funds to build a masjid building near to the current location and in the meantime prayers are held here. Might be hard to find at first but if you look carefully you will see the open door and people coming in and out. It is a simple place to pray and I did feel a very genuine and peaceful vibe there. I received more than one smile and salam and kindness even when I was keeping to myself. The friday prayers are quite crowded but also go well and fine. If you are near this masjid during jumah or prayer time feel free to attend.
