The Muslim community in Boston

Greater Boston is home to one of the most strikingly international Muslim communities in America, gathering people from dozens of nationalities into a relatively compact metro area. The Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center in Roxbury, opened in 2007, is New England's largest mosque, with a sanctuary that can hold thousands and a congregation drawn from more than ninety nationalities and ethnicities. Add the region's universities and hospitals, and you get a community that blends African-American, Arab, South Asian, West African and convert Muslims. So if you are a practising Muslim in Boston hoping to marry, you are far from alone. I want to be straight about Zawji: we are Nordic-founded and most members are still in Scandinavia, so we are only starting to reach New England. But Zawji is open worldwide and free, so you can join today, write a profile in your own words, and be among the first here.

Greater Boston's Muslim community is served by dozens of mosques, schools and organisations, and is remarkable for its diversity, with more than ninety nationalities represented and as many as two dozen ethnicities visible at a single Friday prayer. The Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center in Roxbury is the region's largest mosque and a major community hub. The area's heavy student and professional population adds a distinctly international, academic character, blending established African-American Muslim roots with a large immigrant and convert community.
