OUR STORY
It is incredible how one small idea can grow into something truly special. Denver Islamic Society/Masjid Al Nur is rooted in the belief that we all have an inherent responsibility to make a meaningful difference in our community. With a variety of active projects and a large volunteer staff, we harness our skills and resources to successfully achieve our goals.
Since our founding more than forty years ago, we have been proud to witness how our activities have benefitted the Denver community and beyond. Want to take part? Contribute to our work by donating or volunteering today. Email us at dis.birchstreet@gmail.com and we'll be happy to connect with you.
PHILOSOPHY
At Denver Islamic Society/Masjid Al Nur, the community is diverse, and boasts of individuals from different continents and walks of life. Although the history of our community traces its roots back several decades, DIS has grown to encompass community members from converts to multigenerational families to young upstarts and more. Our center is open every day of the year and serves as a place of worship, a place of gathering, a hub for community events, interfaith dialogue, and a cultural resource.
​
Our center welcomes visitors of all faiths and is open to anyone who wants to learn about our religion and our ever-growing community. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) instructed us clearly, “Let anyone who believes in God and the Last Day be generous to his neighbor, and let anyone who believes in God and the Last Day be generous to his guest.”
Our community is also dedicated to the larger community of metro Denver and that of Colorado, and we are more than willing and happy to arrange a visit for anyone who wants to stop by and learn about us.
VISITING US
Denver Islamic Society/Masjid Al Nur is located at 2124 S Birch St, Denver, CO 80222, and given our convenient location off of I-25 and Evans Ave, we are easily accessible by road, as well as for public transit passengers using bus and light rail via the Colorado Blvd RTD station. We are usually open daily during the five prayer times, and we can give tours and help answer questions for visitors, if an appointment is scheduled in advance by emailing us.
