What exactly does Masjid An-Nur mean? Maybe you’ve already asked yourself this question. The name translates to “Mosque of the Light”, a fitting title for a place that has become a beacon of faith and community in North Minneapolis. Masjid An-Nur has a fascinating history. It emerged from the reform movement of the Nation of Islam in the 1970s. Muslim families relocated from Chicago to Minneapolis to establish this vibrant community. The mosque has stood as a testament to the resilience and spirit of its predominantly African-American congregation. While Masjid An-Nur has deep roots within the African-American Muslim community, it welcomes Muslims from all walks of life. Its doors are open to people of all backgrounds. This inclusivity has helped foster a rich tapestry of cultures and traditions within its walls. Masjid An-Nur is more than just a place of worship. It’s deeply engaged in social justice and interfaith efforts, working to improve the lives of all in the community. Its commitment to these causes has earned it a reputation as one of the most politically active mosques in the Twin Cities.
