About

The first masjid in Carteret.

Masjid Quba, established in 2013, is the first masjid in Carteret, New Jersey. It serves the local Muslim community with daily prayers and two Jumu'ah services.

For years the masjid has been a place of salah, learning, and gathering for families in Carteret and the surrounding neighborhoods. Today it is growing alongside the community it was built to serve.
