Dar Al-Islam | Abiquiú, New Mexico, USA

Lauded as one of the most unique, sustainable, and eco-friendly mosques in North America, Dar al-Islam sits on a thousand of acres of breathtaking hills and valleys. The mosque itself is situated atop a plateau that overlooks the dramatic landscape, and many trails and hiking paths have been carved into the land.

The mosque and madrassa were designed by Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy and were constructed primarily of adobe, both in respect to local architecture and a nod to the traditional North African influence. Fathy arrived in Abiquiú in 1980, and was joined joined by many who came from around the USA and Mexico to help build the mosque and learn the traditional art of Egyptian mud-brick building.

The original intention of the building project was to supply a place where American Muslims could live in a residential community. The plans included a campus composed of a central mosque, school, dormitory, housing for the community, a women’s center, hotel, public bath, and an art’s center. And though not all of the original dreams were achieved, the community today still functions as an active mosque and spiritual retreat center, as well as an educational hub and retreat center for inter-faith events and those wishing to learn more about Islam. It is open to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, who enjoy the community, education, and surrounding nature.
