we have been a part of the OCIF community for 30 years. It has been an anchor for our family in terms of a place to pray, meet community and strengthen our knowledge and practice of Islam. The mosque is beautiful, clean and very welcoming; a reflection of the commitment of the board and the staff of this institution. They are dedicated to serving the spiritual and social needs of the south Orange County community. read more

As-salamu alaykum, I just wanted to share how truly pleased I am with the Orange County Islamic Foundation in Mission Viejo. Mashallah, everyone is so welcoming and kind. The masjid is very clean, well organized, and thoughtfully run. There are so many wonderful opportunities and activities for the kids, and you can really see the effort that goes into making it a positive experience for families. Most importantly, my kids genuinely love coming here -- and that means everything. May Allah put barakah in everyone's efforts and reward all those who help make this community so special. read more

A place of tranquility from the moment one steps in! Warm & welcoming! Been going there for almost 30 years, feelings never changed! On the contrary, getting more appreciative and more attached. read more

It's such a beautiful and peaceful place.Everyone who works there is incredibly kind and always willing to help. May Allah bless this place.

Great masjid with clean facilities and multiple prayer spaces. Alot of activities for the youth and young adults.

Very clean , wonderful people taking care of it Overall, a wonderful place for worship, learning, and connecting with others.

Beautiful local masjid, very welcoming and has many programs to offer the community! The Shaykh is very experienced and does a great job at khatiras/ Friday sermons. They are very accommodating for mothers with young children and they warmly welcome members of our community who have special needs. Check out their programming and don't hesitate to stop by :) read more

Taraweeh prayers were amazing with Sh. Zouhir specially the dawa of ketem alcoran and all Ramadan prayers

everyone is so hospitable and nice. The imams have absolutely beautiful voices and they make the prayer so easy to enjoy

Great worship place for muslims. Welcomes all community members in neighboring cities and beyond.

Tried parking on the street to go watch a cousins softball game at the field and got pressed by community members of this mosque, saying I'm not welcome to park here when it is in fact public road and many other softball dads and moms have parked their as well. I was shoved and pushed back to the door of my car where I then made a police report because they were starting to bang on my windows and try to open my doors. The fact that young kids and older men were partaking in this is disgusting. A community that treats others like this is absolutely unacceptable and sickening. read more

Our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged women to attend mosques for prayer, and Islamic teachings do not explicitly prohibit women from doing so. However, I am deeply troubled by the disparity between the grandeur of your mosque and the inadequacy of the facilities provided for women. The small, poorly furnished women's section with insufficient seating and prayer mats is a disservice to the respect and dignity that Islam emphasizes for women. It is disheartening to see women praying on hard tiles due to the lack of mats while men enjoy ample seating. This neglect of women contradicts the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who emphasized treating women with kindness, respect, and equity. I urge you to rectify these shortcomings and ensure that women are afforded the dignity and respect they deserve within the mosque community. read more

I love coming here any day of the week! the director and board members are so welcoming! always planning so many activities for all ages throughout the week. Friday nights are for the whole family, and monthly family BBQ's! the events are amazing from the Eid carnivals to the weekly night talks to the to the daily prayers to the counseling services. The Friday prayer is so lively, and they have small businesses selling food after! such a fun warm spiritual ambiance! read more

People making decisions in this place are horrible!! What do you mean you stop Friday prayers because one person got COVID in Fajr prayers !!! I have been to other legit respectful mosques that never stopped prayers anytime even during the critical time of COVID and they are still very successful, ohh and their Imam Tareq Atta was explaining Eid prayers by saying first rakaa has few extra takbirat!!! You don't know how many takbirat or you're lazy enough not to say and educate community exactly what it is ?!! I have very bad taste in my mouse from this place.... read more

Small masjed good community size.. Nice people.. A lot of activities.. Peace and quiet Parking seems an issue.. Hope they find a solution read more

See all

A small but great community masjid. The young Imaam is knowledgeable and conveys great messages on his qutba/sermons. The Islamic center has some good activities and programs that support the muslim youth and encourage Islamic learning and spiritual growth. There is a limited parking spaces for Mosque goers though. In sha Allah they will be able to find solutions for parking issues. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon us all! read more

Love this small neighborhood masjid! Come in early because it bring in the business district, parking is a bit of an issue. The people however are warm and welcoming and the Imaam knowledgeable. read more

I really believe that this mosque has lost its integrity over the years and could become a better environment But first the positives: I've been at this mosque for 15 years so most of my childhood has been here (this is for those who are in disbelief that this place hasn't changed for the worse). I loved the environment and the place always was clean so props to the people who stay and clean the prayer halls even today. I honestly also think that the private grade school was an amazing place for muslim children to become educated. If you were going to choose a mosque in the Mission Viejo area to go to, then I would definitely go here. Now the negatives: This place has lost its shine and one of the big reasons is the "head" people that run this place. The people that run the place are very rude and I don't even think they think of the mosque as an environment for people as much as a business. It also doesn't help that they ask for money a little too much during each Ramadan (not everyone is a millionaire). Now I know that one of their most biggest hit and one big reason why people don't come here anymore is because the main Sheikh left. Sheikh Yassir was the main reason why this place would shine and the only reason to ever go to the Friday Khutbah. When they lost him, they lost everyone's reason to come anymore. Now I'm not really sure if people are ignorant or lack the knowledge, but most likely the reason he left (this is pure opinion) is because the "heads" would not let him do his job as a community leader. He loved the community and the biggest tragedy is when he left us. That being said, the new Sheikh is doing his best and I hope that his efforts can change the way the community is right now. P.S. If you are reading this Sheikh, I just want to let you know that I hope that where ever you are you are doing well. You are one of the greatest thing that ever happened to mission viejo. Lastly, the place has a very rude and proud people that come. I don't know if people just act differently with other muslims or these people just don't know how to talk, but it really makes this place a very scary environment for "normal" muslims. Unfortunately I can't really give any advice towards how this can change other than hopefully that generation of muslims changes and learns how to say one word "sorry". All in all this place has had its highs and lows, sadly it's in its lows right now. For those who believe that this is from a place of hate, I say this comment because I care about the future for this mosque. We are supposed to be a kind and peaceful people but unfortunately it is very rare to see nowadays. read more

The worst Eid prayer experience. Very unorganized. The large crowd of women were repeatedly asked to move creating much chaos. A Pakistani lady was "guiding" the crowd in a very cruel and mean way. The microphone did not work so we couldn't follow Eid prayer until second raq3aa. read more

I take my family to this mosque almost every Friday for Friday prayer.We love this mosque,this is our community mosque but the management of this mosque is very unfriendly and they have no manner at all, sometimes It's feel like they judging people by their look and some of the management people seems like under qualified for the management.We love our mosque and it's represent all the muslim in south orange county not for any particular group or country,I wish management will be careful to hire proper educated and genuine people for the mosque not just anyone. read more
