Al-Amin Jame Masjid & Islamic Center

Mosques anchor the spiritual rhythm of western Queens. Al-Amin Jame Masjid & Islamic Center continues that tradition on a quiet stretch of 36th Avenue, offering daily prayers, Quranic instruction, and community gatherings. The building sits mid-block at 35-19 36th Ave, Long Island City, NY 11106, a short walk from the elevated N/W subway lines that stitch the neighborhood together.

Beyond worship, the center hosts weekend Islamic school for children and adult education sessions that explore faith in contemporary contexts. Friday sermons draw a diverse congregation, reflecting the area’s mix of long-time residents and newer arrivals. Eid celebrations and interfaith dialogues further extend the mosque’s role as a local hub.

Visitors planning to attend should note the call to prayer times posted on the center’s website. For questions about programs or event schedules, (718) 729-6325 connects directly to the office during weekday hours. The staff can also clarify parking options in the surrounding residential streets.

Directions to the mosque are straightforward via public transit or car, with the closest subway station a five-minute walk away. A map pinpointing the exact location is available here.
