The Mother Mosque of America, located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, serves as a significant cultural and historical landmark, being the first and oldest surviving mosque in North America. Founded in 1929, the mosque reflects the spirit of community and resilience, having been built primarily by local Muslims during the Great Depression.
As an Islamic Cultural and Heritage Center, the Mother Mosque hosts educational workshops, programs, and conferences aimed at fostering diversity, equality, and respect among both religious and secular communities. Its mission is to nurture an environment that values pluralism, bridging the understanding of Islamic heritage within the broader American context.
