Aljaned Islamic Center

The call to prayer rises and settles over this stretch of Intervale Avenue like the neighborhood’s own rhythm. Mosques anchor daily life in many corners of the Bronx; this one serves as both spiritual refuge and civic cornerstone for the surrounding blocks. A quick turn off the Major Deegan Expressway drops you right where you need to be.

At 984 Intervale Ave, Aljaned Islamic Center sits a half-block from the elevated No. 2 train. Five daily prayers keep the schedule aligned with dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and nightfall. Friday congregational services draw the largest crowds, while weekend programs focus on youth Quran instruction and community iftars during Ramadan. Halal grocery staples sit just inside the vestibule on sale days.

The building’s modest storefront easily blends with the street’s storefronts—until the sun hits the dome above. A central courtyard handles overflow during peak prayer times; the women’s section on the second floor overlooks the main hall without cutting anyone off from the imam’s recitation. Weave (718) 328-4511 into your next visit when you want to confirm program schedules or ask about general inquiries.

Grab your bearings on the map and head straight here—your destination is less than two miles south of Woodlawn Cemetery. The directions are straightforward whenever you’re ready: plan your trip and you’ll arrive right where the neighborhood gathers.
