The An-Noor Mosque (Arabic: مسجد النور), also known as Masjid An-Nur, is a Sunni Islam mosque in Mangilao, Guam, a territory of the United States.

Overview

[edit]

The Muslim Association of Guam was founded in 1990 and construction of the mosque started in 1997.[1] It was then finished and opened in 2000 to become the only mosque in Guam.[2]

The mosque regularly holds five daily prayers, Jumu'ah (also known as Jumu’aa), evening classes, and community gatherings.[1]
