King Fahad Mosque

I went to a service here today with a friend. The community was very welcoming, and the Mosque was beautiful — with tile mosaics from Turkey and Golden Lettered Plaques from Mecca. I loved the ritual of removing my shoes and socks and washing my feet, hands and face. Then for the next hour I walked across and stood on soft carpets in my bare feet. It was liberating and peaceful. The Imam spoke eloquently, moving from language to language. The message was good and filled with kind insight and a call to help the people of the world who are suffering.
I found myself reflecting on my own life and my loved ones as the prayers continued. Before I knew it I was visualizing the faces of so many people that I held dear throughout my life — and I blessed them. It was supremely relaxing to be in such an exotic and beautiful atmosphere of contemplation and worship.
As a visitor to both the Mosque and the religion — I really felt like a part of the communal spiritual experience. Like Christianity, Islam is an Evangelical Faith — meaning — the religion believes that all are welcome to follow — and so it is very open and even encouraging of newcomers. Even after the service, half a dozen people asked me please to come again. And I very well may.
There are religious and cultural classes on the second floor (where there also is the balcony for women, who, as in Orthodox Judaism, are not allowed to sit with them men). The Library on the first floor is pretty good — with 6 shelves of books in English and about 20 shelves in Arabic (all beautifully bound and laced with gold). The Mosque’s educational branch also offers classes in Arabic, both spoken and written. Written Arabic is like Art — flowing and beautiful like lines of wind whipping across the sand.
One thing that struck me – no room was locked — and no one — not even the Imam or the Director of the Mosque, presented themselves as being above anyone or apart from anyone. Every person, of every station in life, was equal here.

A nicely adorned mosque, spacious and all amenities included. Not as big as the Islamic Centers of NYC’s or DC’s, and to me not as well thought-​of regarding some aspects. Very good location and easily accessible from anywhere in the city. One star off for the fact of lacking the most needed extra car parking spaces. 2^nd star off for the behavior of some individuals crossing the streets at the wrong places causing traffic issues, parking wrongly and making unnecessary noise to the surrounding residential units. BIG salute to all the volunteers there, esp. Muhammed and Abdullah who are always smiley, courteous and helpful. Mosque management should «seriously» listen to and interact more freely with individuals’ feedback and drop their rigid attitude. Highly recommend checking this place, it’s a holy Muslim’s praying space but they provide tours and q&a sessions for interested people from all walks of life.

I decided to go visit a place of a different religion and wow I had a good time. They are very welcoming to anyone wanting a understanding Of the Islamic religion. There are similarities that made me think maybe I’m partly Muslim or more than one religion. Well the experience made me more accepting to others with different religion disciplines.

Alhamdulilah! One can go there to pray, reflect, or just be in aw of the architectural details and designs. SubhanAllah. It’s an exceptionally peaceful environment right at the heart of Culver City. Check it out…

Most beautiful and wonderful mosque. They are super nice and accommodating to converts and people of all faiths. There’s nothing more beautiful to me then when I head up to the ladies room during jum’aa and there is every skin color, every age, and every economic status represented. This is the beauty of Islam and something that makes me emotional every time I’m there. The architecture is gorgeous and the staff is extremely helpful. I shot a television show there and they were always willing to help me with any and all details. I’m so impressed and so thankful that LA has such a masjid that represents Islam so wonderfully. Jazak Allah khair to all of you that work or volunteer here. May Allah bless you and anyone reading this review.

Been going here forever. You feel this energy, this positive energy and peacefulness when you enter this Mosque. Good place to visit if you want to experience and admire-​marble made walls and Arabic scripture on the walls. In Ramadan (which is like now) they offer food for the people fasting. Plenty enough for everyone (hint hint hehe). It’s a good place to worship and just a disclaimer you might experience people with bad attitude, please ignore them. There always are good and bad in every community. Other than that, EVERYONE is welcome here: D

I love this mosque!!! Made the best Friends ever there!

Went in for Jumah, found the place to be packed and bustling with worshippers!
Very impressive architecture, starting with the dome, to the chandiliers, the abdest, and the stained glass windows.
It is reminiscent of a mosque from the old country, and being able to (successfully) transplant that into LA is no small feat. The worshippers comprised of Desis, Arabs, and a good mix of young and old folks.
The Imam who seemed to have been recently appointed had a magnificent recitation style. His khutbah was equally good, and set a good tone for my first exposure to the Mosque.
In his khutbah, he preached the ideal of selfless-​ness and wanting for your brother what you want for yourself. Preaching a very appropriate message of caring and sacrificing others which only fosters community.
Definitely a place to visit if in the area.
