Masjid Bilal Islamic Center

Nestled a few miles south of Downtown Los Angeles, Masjid Bilal Islamic Center has a rich history and tradition that spans more than sixty years. Located at 4016 S. Central Ave, the community has played an essential role in the growth of Muslims throughout the Southern California area. Since 1971, Imam Abdul-Karim Hasan has been the religious leader of this Muslim community. Under his leadership, the community purchased its current property in May of 1973, which would help shape the dynamics for Islamic growth in the city. During the 70’s, Allah blessed Masjid Bilal’s propagation efforts, which reached tens of thousands of Americans, including prominent city officials and some of the world’s best-known celebrities, who attended our events.
