The Fazl Mosque in Washington, D.C.
was established by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 1950 and is the first mosque in the U.S.
capital of Washington, D.C.
It's full title is the American Fazl Mosque, which helps to distinguish it from its sister mosque, the Fazl Mosque, London, both of which were the first mosques in the capitals of the U.S.
and the U.K., respectively.
Located a few minutes from the White House, and neighboring several embassies, Fazl Mosque opened seven years prior to the Islamic Center of Washington and is the longest serving mosque in the nation's capital.
