Al-Zahra Mosque is one of the Shiite (Shia) mosques of the United state of America[1][2][3] that was founded in 1990 in the city of Los Angeles, California. This Shi'i mosque has been a place for Shia Muslims in order to meet the needs of the Los Angeles Shi'a community since its founding date.[4]
According to "Seyyed-Ruhollah Jayedi" the head of the Al-Zahra mosque: This mosque may be the first Shi'a mosque or among the first Shia mosques in America; and some other Islamic centers in the city of Los-Angeles are considered to be a branch from this mosque. Al-Zahra Mosque was built by an Iraqi businessman—named Hakim in 1990.[5]
The name of Al-Zahra Mosque is taken from the name of Fatimah Zahra—the daughter of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. Among the daily/weekly programs of Al-Zahra mosque are as follows:[6][7][8][9] daily prayers, Friday-prayer (per Friday), Dua-Kumayl, Dua-Tawassul, and so on.[10]
