The first prayer was held on the last Friday of Ramadan, November 29, 2002. This was a remarkable turning point in the history of Islam in Houston. The Islamic Da`wah Center houses the first mosque in downtown Houston. It is also the first center dedicated for Da`wah in Houston. The opulent three-story facility includes over 40,000 square feet. Once you enter the building from the Travis side entrance, you can access the main prayer hall on the first floor. From there, a staircase takes you underground to the basement level, which has a gathering area, meeting rooms, classrooms, offices, and a kitchen. Recently, a library of Islamic knowledge was added to the third floor.
