Tijuana has its first Islamic center

Tijuana has now become the first city in Baja California to have a mosque, which is located in Playas de Tijuana under the name of Masjid Omar.

Here the followers of Allah have a safe place where they perform their prayers and scheduled prayers as established in the Koran, from Fajr (dawn) to Isha (night).

The center offers various activities including the teachings of the Koran and Arabic classes. You do not need to be Muslim to take these classes or attend the mosque.

Islam is probably one of the most controversial religions in the world, and is full of customs and traditions, which may be a little strange for those who do not practice it.

For more information about the center, visit the Omar Masjig website, where you can find schedules and more information on the rest of their activities.
