Keep the prayer hall warm in winter and cool in summer

The mosque’s heating, cooling and ventilation system has nearly failed, and our elders and children feel it most. Your gift installs new, energy-efficient units: comfort for every prayer, and an ongoing charity in your name.

Our story

The first mosque west of the Mississippi built in the Arabesque style

Idris Mosque was a gift to Seattle and the Northwest through the generosity of the late Sheikh Abdul Qadir Idriss, whose family designed and oversaw the building. It is not a membership organization: thousands of worshippers and visitors come through its doors every year, whatever their background.
