5 minarets in new york

A fascinating topic! While there aren't many mosques with traditional minarets in New York City, I've found 5 notable ones:

  1. Masjid Malcolm Shabazz (Harlem, Manhattan): This mosque has a distinctive minaret that stands out in the Harlem neighborhood. The mosque was founded in 1965 and is one of the oldest in the city.
  2. Islamic Cultural Center of New York (Upper East Side, Manhattan): This mosque, also known as the "Istiqama Mosque," has a modern minaret that was added during a renovation in the 1990s. The mosque was founded in 1973 and serves the Muslim community in the Upper East Side.
  3. Al-Furqan Mosque (Staten Island): Located in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island, this mosque has a traditional minaret that is visible from the surrounding streets. The mosque was founded in the 1980s and serves the Muslim community on Staten Island.
  4. Masjid Al-Huda (Brooklyn): This mosque in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn has a minaret that is part of its modern architecture. The mosque was founded in the 1990s and serves the Muslim community in Brooklyn.
  5. Islamic Center of Long Island (Westbury, Long Island): While not directly in New York City, this mosque is located just outside the city limits in Westbury, Long Island. Its minaret is a prominent feature of the mosque's architecture and can be seen from the surrounding streets.

Please note that these are just a few examples, and there may be other mosques with minarets in New York City or its surrounding areas.
