Al Sadiq Mosque Chicago

Oldest standing mosque in the USA in Chicago's Bronzeville – built 1922, sustained by African American converts of the Ahmadiyya movement.

The Al Sadiq Mosque in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood is considered the oldest standing mosque in the United States. Built in 1922 with donations from the Ahmadiyya movement in India, the majority of its early worshippers were African American converts – a notable intersection between a South Asian religious movement and Chicago's Black community. The building stands in Bronzeville, a historic center of African American life closely tied to the Great Migration from the South. The mosque remains in active use today.
