first house of worship of Islam on the west coast and the eighth in America. After the passing of the Honorable Elijah Mohammed, the transition into Al-Islam and the following of the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) began under the leadership of his son Imam W.D. Mohammed (May Allah's mercy be upon him). Many of these same temples were renamed. Some masjids have taken on distinct names, such as, Malcolm Shabazz Masjid in Harlem New York, or Bilal Masjid in Cleveland. Mosque #8 was re-named "Masjidul Taqwa of San Diego" by the late Imam W.D.
