Masjid Al-Momineen of Stone Mt

Masjid Al-Momineen Servicing Clarkston, Tucker, Lilburn, and Stone Mountain Muslims since 1989. About Us Masjid Al-Momineen was established in 1989 in a rented 4 bedroom house on Church Street in Clarkston – by Divine Providence and generous donations from a group of 100 Afghan immigrants residing mostly in and around the city of Clarkston.

This property consisted of 3 buildings until fall of 2019 – two served as prayer halls for men and women, while the third was used as a rental to defray a portion of the monthly expenses. The original building, a 100 year old building, served as the men’s Musallah for 27 years. It was finally demolished in early fall of 2019 at the ripe age of 127 and replaced by the new 26,000sf Masjid.
