Ismaili Jamatkhana

The Ismaili Jamatkhana in Manhattan, New York is a historic five-story brick building that was originally a police station and later used as classroom space by Yeshiva University. It has been transformed into a Jamatkhana and ambassadorial building, serving as a place of prayer and intellectual discourse. With its Islamic design elements and architectural features inspired by Jamatkhanas worldwide, it aims to promote understanding of Ismaili Muslim values, culture, and heritage, as well as the work of the Aga Khan Development Network.

The Ismaili Jamatkhana offers a range of activities including lectures, seminars, exhibitions, and cultural events, fostering mutual understanding among different communities and cultures. Visitors are invited to dress modestly and respectfully, and may be asked to remove their shoes during parts of the tour. This sacred space provides a unique opportunity to explore the rich history and traditions of Ismaili Muslims in the heart of Manhattan.
