Greenville, South Carolina is home to many Muslims. In the 1980s, Greenville saw an increase in the number of Muslims moving into the area, as Greenville was becoming a center for engineering and technology. Up until this time, Greenville had no place of worship for Muslims. Islamic classes and prayers were being established within the homes of Muslim families, but soon with the increasing Muslim population in late 1980s, such a setup was insufficient.

Seeing this need, several committed Muslims started to organize and come together with the goal of establishing a Masjid that would be the center of the Greenville Muslim community. Our Masjid was opened in 1989.  

Islamic Society of Greenville is an independent non-profit organization. It functions to provide a place for Muslims to worship, and to spread Islam in the U.S. by providing religious and educational facilities to members of the society.

Our current Imam is Shaykh Muhammad Mustafa. Imam Mustafa can be contacted at imam@greenvillemasjid.com.
