The North Austin Muslim Community Center (NAMCC) was founded in approximately 1992. Prayers were offered initially at a rented building. The current property of three buildings located on five acres of land was purchased during 1996. One of the building was renovated toward the end of that year to be used as mosque. Other two buildings were renovated the following year to be used for Sunday School and guest quarter.

NAMCC is a registered non-profit organization and the property has been registered with NAIT (North American Islamic Trust) as belonging to the Islamic community of Austin (wafq). Muslim population of North Austin has seen tremendous growth by the grace of Allah (SWT) in recent years and it is expected to continue growing for the next several years.

[edit] Objective:

The NAMCC functions for the worship of Allah (SWT) and the advancement of Islam in Austin. We would like to encourage the community to come to the mosque as a place to offer prayers to Allah (SWT), gain knowledge on Islam and get to know your brothers and sisters in the community. The Prophet (SAW) emphasized throughout his life the importance of breaking down ethnic / tribal / language barriers and uniting the whole of the muslim world as a single ummat (following). Everyone of us must try to achieve that in our Austin community right now. Inshallah, we look forward to seeing you at your mosque.

It is located at 11900 North Lamar Blvd, Austin.
