Masjid Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq is an Islamic center serving as a masjid and a gathering place for the Muslim community in Hayward and the larger Bay Area. The Islamic Center consists of a 11,000 sq. foot building providing a main musullah (prayer hall) and a private sisters’ musallah, a multipurpose meeting area, nearly 4,000 sq. feet of second-floor classrooms, office space, a library, and a warming kitchen. Our major educational services are weekend classes for children and adults. These classes teach the Qur’an and Arabic, religious studies, as well as reading and writing lessons in Pashto and Farsi, which are the languages spoken in Afghanistan. Social services include zakaat and sadaqa (alms and charity) distribution as well as funeral services including on-site washing and shrouding the body prior to the Janazah prayer and burial.
