Learn More About Who We Are

The Islamic Center at NYU serves a diverse Muslim population in New York and the tri-state area. Located in the heart of lower Manhattan, the Center provides a welcoming space for individuals to learn, pray, connect, and find community at the intersection of intellectual and spiritual life.

Each week, we host a variety of programs from spiritual gatherings like weekly halaqas, Qur’an study circles, and Friday sermons, to community-centered events such as social mixers, service projects, and educational workshops. Our calendar is designed to nourish both the soul and the sense of belonging.

Whether you’re new to Islam, curious to learn more, or looking to strengthen your spiritual connection, we have something for everyone. Our doors are open to people of all backgrounds, ages, and experiences, and we’re committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every individual feels valued and supported.

During Ramadan, we welcome 600–800 guests each evening for iftar and special nightly programs, creating an unforgettable atmosphere of unity and reflection.

Our community is truly one of a kind and we look forward to having you be a part of it!
