A Diverse and Inclusive Community
Masjid Madera (Madera Islamic Center) serves the Muslim community of Central California as a place of worship, learning, and unity. Our center represents what many Muslims in the West aspire to build — a strong, organized, and faith-centered community that lives by Islamic teachings while positively contributing to society.
We are dedicated to preserving Islamic identity, strengthening brotherhood and sisterhood, and promoting a comprehensive Islamic way of life based on the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
Who We Are
Masjid Madera is a community-based Islamic center that welcomes individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. We aim to provide a safe, respectful, and spiritually uplifting environment where Muslims can practice their faith and where visitors can learn about Islam.
Our masjid is not only a place for prayer, but also a center for education, guidance, and community life.
