Islamic Center of America
Mosque · Dearborn, Michigan
The Islamic Center of America is a mosque on Ford Road in Dearborn, widely described as among the largest mosques in North America. The current building opened in 2005 and is a large domed structure with minarets, built to serve a very large Arab American community in and around Dearborn. It is a working place of worship first: five daily prayers, Friday congregational prayer, classes and community events all happen here, and visitors are guests in that setting. Non-Muslim visitors are welcome, usually by appointment, and tours are a good way to learn about the faith, the building and the community in a respectful setting. It suits travelers curious about architecture, interfaith groups, students and neighbors. Dress modestly, remove your shoes, and ask before photographing anyone. Visit outside prayer times and avoid Friday midday and busy Ramadan evenings unless invited. Allow about an hour for a guided visit, and confirm tour arrangements, hours and any rules with the center before you go, since schedules change.

The center is open around the five daily prayers, with the main congregational prayer on Friday around midday, and hours shift through the year as prayer times move with the sun. Visitors are usually asked to arrange a tour in advance rather than arrive unannounced, and weekday daytime outside prayer times is the easiest window. Friday midday is the busiest and least suitable time for a first visit. During Ramadan, evenings are very busy with breaking-the-fast meals and night prayers. Office hours, tour slots and special events change, so confirm by phone or through the center's official channels, and ask about parking, entrances and what to wear before you arrive.
