Our History
The North Austin Muslim Community has a remarkable journey that began in 1990 with just a few worshipers gathering for Friday prayers in a house on Prairie Dove Circle, Austin, Texas. As time passed, their numbers swelled, and a non-profit Morganization, the North Austin Muslim Community Center, was established to better serve their growing community.
In its pursuit of a permanent home, the community rented a location on North Lamar Blvd, where they tirelessly fundraised and searched for the ideal property. Their determination bore fruit when they acquired a property for $152k, which included three buildings in need of renovation.
Through collective efforts, one of the buildings was transformed and became the first-ever masjid in North Austin, opening its doors to the community in December 1996. As the community flourished, they further renovated the other two buildings to accommodate a Sunday School and Imam’s quarters.
In 2012, the masjid was fittingly named Masjid Aisha, honoring the beloved wife of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. With over 1000 brothers and sisters now attending Friday prayers, the community has outgrown its current location. As a result, they have initiated a vital project to construct a new masjid on the same premises, ensuring that it can comfortably accommodate the community’s needs for years to come, insha Allah.
The North Austin Muslim Community’s inspiring journey exemplifies the power of unity, perseverance, and faith. Their dedication to creating a welcoming space for worship and community growth is truly commendable, and it is through such endeavors that strong bonds are forged within Muslim communities across North America. As they move forward with their new masjid project, may their efforts be blessed, and may the new masjid serve as a beacon of light, guiding and inspiring generations to come.
