Our Mosques in America: More Than Just a Place of Worship

Every immigrant brings with them not only their luggage but also their faith, culture, and values. The biggest concern of the first generations to come to America was, "Will those who come after us be able to preserve their identity, religion, and language?" Our mosques are institutions that answer precisely this concern.

Our Diyanet mosques, scattered throughout the United States, are not only places for prayer; they are also centers of education and culture. Here, our children learn to read the Quran and take religious instruction. They also grow up with Turkish language lessons and history and cultural activities, keeping them rooted. The most secure way to integrate into American society without losing one's identity is through the education provided in these mosques.

Services aren't limited to children. With special Quran classes for women, online lessons, preparation for memorization, and adhan and maqam training, the variety appeals to all segments of society. Special programs are even offered for individuals with special needs. These mosques are committed to providing services with a commitment to ensuring no one is excluded.

Sports activities, summer camps, and cultural programs organized for young people contribute to their development as individuals who are both mentally and physically strong. A football tournament on one side, a circle of learning on the other… This balance is what keeps our young people on their feet.

Life's joys and sorrows are shared in our mosques. Marriages are celebrated, weddings are held, and funerals are held here. Thanks to these services, every citizen living in America feels they are not alone, even in their most difficult times.

From Ramadan iftars to cultural nights, from seminars to social responsibility projects, our mosques continue to be places that bring society together and bring hearts together.

At this point today, we can easily say this: Diyanet mosques in the United States are not just places of worship, they are the guarantee of our identity, our spirit of unity, and our future.
