King Fahad Mosque ~ Culver City
10980 Washington Blvd. ~ Culver City, CA 90232 ~ 310-202-0432
From the Embassy of Saudi Arabia July 18, 1998:
The mosque has already become a landmark, with its minaret standing more than seventy feet in height. The mosque occupies an area of about 7,200 square meters and can accommodate 2,000 worshippers at one time. Other facilities include lecture and meeting halls, classrooms, research centers, a bookshop, a children’s playground, and a car park. The city of Los Angeles has a Muslim population of more than 250,000…
Prince Abdulaziz Ibn Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz, Minister of State and Cabinet Member, yesterday opened in Culver City, a western suburb of Los Angeles in California, the newly-completed King Fahd Mosque, work on which began in April of 1996. The mosque, costing SR 8.1 million (U.S. $ 2.16 million), was financed entirely by private donations from Prince Abdulaziz, who contributed over one million dollars for the purchase of the land, and from the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz.
In his speech, Prince Abdulaziz announced that King Fahd has donated a school for the recitation of the Holy Qur’an and education in the Islamic sciences, which will be affiliated to the King Fahd Mosque and established adjacent to it.
After the ceremony, Prince Abdulaziz attended a dinner party given by the Saudi Consul-General in Los Angeles Muhammad Ibn Abdulrahman Al-Salloum. During the dinner party, speeches were delivered praising the inauguration of the King Fahd Mosque by former chief of the White House staff John Sununu; Mahir Athour, head of one of the Islamic Centers in California; William Baker, the American writer; and Ahmed Al-Tuweijri, member of the Consultative Council (Majlis Al-Shura) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In an impromptu speech during the dinner party, Prince Abdulaziz said: “Islam rejects all forms of terrorism, extremism and aggression and at the same time it does not accept any transgression against it”. He went on to point out that in Islam: “there is no form of racism or nationalism since people are all equal before Allah, the Almighty”.
The inauguration of the new mosque has evoked praise worldwide. Secretary-General of the International Islamic Relief Agency (IIRA) Dr. Adnan Khalil Basha said today that the patronizing of the opening of King Fahd Mosque in Los Angeles by Prince Abdulaziz was clear evidence of King Fahd’s concern for all Muslims, and noted that the mosque would be the focal point of Muslims’ gatherings in Los Angeles and a place where they could strengthen their bonds of brotherhood and friendship.
Two former U.S. Presidents, George Bush and Gerald Ford, have commented on the King Fahd Mosque. President Bush said the building of the mosque through the generosity of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz signifies not only his support for Muslims worldwide, but also the unique bond between the people of the United States and Saudi Arabia, and asked Prince Abdulaziz Ibn Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz to convey to King Fahd his esteem, and respect for what he has done to foster goodwill between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia and to support Muslim communities in America. President Ford said all Americans are most grateful for this magnificent gift from King Fahd, adding that the grand opening would be a memorable day in the city of Los Angeles.
Minister of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Call and Guidance Dr. Abdullah Ibn Abdulmohsin Al-Turki said in Riyadh last week that the mosque is located in a very important location at the crossroads of a number of highways and close to a large Islamic community. Commending this great Islamic project as embodying the care and interest of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz in the service of Islam and Muslims, he said this noble gesture by the Saudi monarch would contribute a great deal in propagating the message of Islam and projecting a good and true image of it.
Consul-General Al-Salloum said on Thursday that the opening of the King Fahd Mosque is a great accomplishment and a solid brick for the building of welfare and solace, and continues the immortal noble works of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz in the light of his care and interest to build mosques, scientific centers and cultural centers within the framework of the Kingdom’s role in the service of Islam.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given great attention to Islamic centers, institutes and universities in non-Islamic countries to help Muslim minorities preserve their Islamic culture and educate them in the Arabic language. In addition to 1,500 mosques scattered all over the world, there are 210 such Islamic centers fully built or partially financed by the Kingdom, including those in London, Edinburgh, Madrid, Rome, Tokyo, Brussels, Geneva, Toronto, Zagreb, Lisbon, Vienna, Buenos Aires, and Lagos; one in New Zealand, and three each in Australia and in Brazil.
In Asia there are, fully financed by the Kingdom, King Fahd Islamic Centers in the Maldives, in Japan, and Indonesia. In Africa, the Kingdom has fully financed, for example, the King Faisal Center in Chad, and contributed to mosques in Gabon, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, and Senegal, and Islamic Centers in Nigeria, Algeria, and the Sudan.
In the United States the Kingdom has contributed to Islamic Centers in Northern Virginia as well as in Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Toledo, Fresno, Boulder, New Brunswick, Tucson, East Lansing, Raleigh, and Columbia (Maryland).

Assaalamlaikum,I was wondering if anyone can help.I have been a widow for 10 yrs now since 1999 and inshallah I am 47 yrs I just want to find a husband.
I look 30’s. Allah has blessed me with good health and youthful appearance.I have been Muslimah my whole life and I feel to marry. Yet many brothers even my age or older feel that they want a 20 yr old. Inshallah, I am of a good family, good nature strong Iman even made haj in 1982, at one point in my life some friends calculated that over 4000 people in a 20 yrs span took Shahada because of something I had said or had done.I was known for helping many. When my former husband passed away he was killed in a car accident in Malaysia while on Business in 1999 at.
Then in 2002 my mother passed away, then I had a daughter whom when she graduated Arizona State University in 2000 her father came from Brunei he was the Sultans brother Prince Jefr Bolkiah. he came and told my daughter to work for him she refused because he was not in her life for over 10 yrs so she joined the army saying she wanted to help others so she was sent to korea then as you know they pulled 3600 in 2004 and graduated them early then 13 wks of being there my daughter was killed. No one could forsee her going.Then I lost my only brother to a car accident when someone tried to rob him in 2004. Then my father passed away in 2008 in which for a year and a half I went back and forth to Las Vegas to care for him then I sent his body home to Lebanon. I have no other family or children. About me I was married twice
77 to Prince Jefri then in 92-99 to a Malaysian/Omanie. I had one daughter.
I worked all my life first Beverly Hills Hotel 84-89 then Princess Cruises Corporate Office 89-92 Married had a Halal Restaurant by USC had curry from
Malaysia then upon my husbands death they took my house and my Restaurant because it was in his name.many knew me for I fed many muslims. In 2000-08 worked for muslim commercial contractor
and managed a restaurant near habibi cafe in westwood.
Even when King Fahad Masjid had trouble with the city and the jewish woman whom tried to have it closed. I went online to find a sheik to help before they closed it. Yes it was me whom wrote to get someone to come and help and to get the Saudi’s ears.And about me yes I have traveled to Saudi Arabia (82)for Haj-London-Germany-France-Brunei-Malaysia-5 Carribean Islands-15 us states. Now you know about me yes I was born in US to parents of Middle Eastern Decent. My mother was mixed with Omanie and French (my grandfather came from Oman and married a mixed woman whose father was french-algerian/whose mother was italian-tunisian)then my father was Lebanese born in Lebanon then when 7 lived 12 yrs in Palestine left when he was 19 (in 1948)now you now about me
and hear of someone looking for a wife you can tell them about me. 702-583-9883
I go by Hasiba yet ciba stems from queen sheeba for in the Saabean texts she was born in the land of ciba.
Yes;I may have done things that made others take shahada, yet even 4000 is not enough. I feel there is always more to do. Even beginning of last Rahmaddon
inshallah on three occasions three brothers came up to me and each one I got to make dawah with and inshallah each one wanted to strengthen their faith and so I gave two muslim brothers phone numbers and the imams phone number for I feel as I always have inshallah even allah sub hannah wa t allah may send these brothers and others to me I have to guide them to the Iman and good brothers to guide them. I am just a woman and now I am a woman that needs a husband can you help. Inshallah may allah sub hannah wa t allah guide you and watch over you and just maybe he shall use you as his instrument to help me to find a husband I need a husband of iman. Inshallah some friends put a profile for me on a website called salaamlove.com under the name of sultanacibanv and even there brothers ask me how do they become better muslims. Yet inshallah all ask for is to find a husband and I don’t think a website will help. I thought ok inshallah other muslims are there. Yet for me as a Muslim my faith is stronger than this and I believe that allah has a better plan for me.
If you can help shokrun.
I even thought to live in Oman at one point only am alone and I know no one there for my grandfather came in the 1920’s. I even thought to talk to Dr Misbah El-Dureiny for I have known him over 20 years. Only I feel shy to. So I thought perhaps you might know of
someone Inshallah
Assalamalikum Ciba
