Mosques

Oakland, a vibrant city in the San Francisco Bay Area, is home to a growing Muslim community with several mosques and prayer spaces both within the city and in nearby suburbs. The mapped records show over 20 listed prayer places within a 50 km radius, reflecting a well-established network of Islamic centers. Within Oakland itself, two prominent masjids are listed: As-Salam Mosque on 7th Street and the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California (ICCNC) on Madison Street, both located in the downtown area. These serve as key hubs for local Muslims, offering daily prayers and community activities.

Beyond Oakland, the surrounding East Bay cities host numerous Islamic centers. In Berkeley, the Berkeley Masjid on Derby Street provides a prayer space for students and residents. Further south, Fremont features the Islamic Society of East Bay (ISEB - Lowry Masjid) on Peace Terrace and Masjid Zakariya on Albrae Street. San Leandro is home to Masjid Al-Farooq on East 14th Street, while Hayward has Masjid Muhajireen on Folsom Avenue. Union City hosts Masjid Al-Huda on Smith Street, and Richmond has the Islamic Society Of West Contra Costa County on 36th Street. These locations indicate a strong prayer-place presence across the East Bay, from Berkeley to Fremont.

Across the bay, San Francisco offers several options including Masjid al-Tawheed on Sutter Street, the Islamic Center of San Francisco on Crescent Avenue, and AlSabeel Masjid Noor Al-Islam on Jones Street. Other nearby cities like Vallejo, Concord, Pleasanton, San Ramon, South San Francisco, Belmont, Burlingame, and Mountain View also have listed masjids, such as the Islamic Center of Vallejo, Islamic Center of Contra Costa in Concord, and the Muslim Community Center - East Bay in Pleasanton. This widespread distribution ensures that Muslims in Oakland and the greater Bay Area have access to prayer facilities within a reasonable distance, whether in the city center or in neighboring communities.

When visiting any of these mosques, it is advisable to check the exact address and distance from your location, as some are up to 45 km away. Contact information such as phone numbers and websites may be available through local listings. Verify prayer times and any specific access details directly with the mosque, as facilities and services may vary.
