Our Story
The Islamic Center of Temecula Valley was established to meet the growing needs of Muslims in the region—providing a space not just for prayer, but for connection, learning, and community building. Over time, ICTV has grown into a hub for worship, education, and service. From daily prayers and Jumu’ah to youth programs, family events, and community initiatives, the masjid continues to evolve to better serve its members. Today, ICTV stands as a place where individuals and families come together to strengthen their relationship with Allah, support one another, and contribute to a thriving, united community. We invite you to be part of this journey, whether through prayer, volunteering, or supporting the growth of our masjid.
Our Mission
At the Islamic Center of Temecula Valley, our mission is to serve as a pillar of faith, support, and guidance for our community. We are dedicated to fostering the understanding and practice of Islam while promoting unity, compassion, and inclusivity. Through religious, educational, and community programs, we empower individuals and families to strengthen their faith, contribute positively to society, and build a strong, unified American Muslim identity for future generations.
