America’s ‘Mother Mosque’ damaged by floods
America’s oldest Muslim congregation—in Cedar Rapids, Iowa—lost “a century’s worth of records, documents and artifacts” in the recent flooding.
The basement and part of the first floor were flooded.
The congregation, known as the Mother Mosque of America, built its first mosque in 1934. Because of the need for more space, the group built a new mosque in 1971.
The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling on all Muslims to contribute to future renovations of the Mother Mosque.
