Under the leadership of the late Imam W. Deen Mohammed, we are Muslims committed to human excellence as revealed in the Holy Qur'an to Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) and as exemplilfied in his life. Our resident Imam is Imam Abdul-Rasheed Muhammad. Masjidul Taqwa is a historic mosque. It was first established in the early 1949, it was called Muhammad’s Temple #8 and later Muhammad’s Mosque #8. It was the

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. Taqwa mean “God Conscious” in Arabic. Masjidul Taqwa follows the Qur'an, and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (saw).

Masjidul Taqwa Stands With ICSD
إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Our hearts are shattered alongside our Twin Mosque family at the Islamic Center of San Diego. Three beloved members of their community — including the brave Amin Abdullah, a father of eight who gave his life protecting others — were taken from us yesterday in an act of pure hatred.

To the ICSD family: You are not alone. We are your twins in faith, in grief, and in love. May Allah grant your shaheed the highest place in Jannah, heal the wounded, and comfort every heart touched by this tragedy. 🤲🏾

Hate will never silence our masajid. Please support the Official ICSD Victim & Family Support Fund — link in comments.
