Who we are
A permanent home for the Muslims of Rochester.
In March 2023, our community purchased a 16,000 square foot building to serve as a masjid, school and gathering place — a place where faith is practised, the Qur'an is taught, and neighbours become family.
Established on the vision of Shaykh Dr. Mohammad Ismail Memon Madani (raḥimahullāh) — founder of Darul Uloom Al-Madania in Buffalo and Darul Uloom Canada — Hidayah Community Center continues a trusted tradition of authentic Islamic teaching for a new generation.
