From a small storefront site, to today a full community center!

Clear Lake Islamic Center started in 1996 as a small “Musalla” in a strip mall across the road from NASA. In 1999, Shaykh Waleed Basyouni joined the Masjid as its Imam and we have been blessed with his direction and efforts ever since. Our masjid has embarked on many dawah and educational programs ever since the beginning of our history. In 2000, we were incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in the state of Texas. Few years after that, Clear Lake Islamic Center purchased a building on a 2.5 acres to transform into their a new Masjid (which we currently occupy). Construction started in June 2008 and it included four phases of construction that have been planned:

Phase I: Completion of the women’s prayer area and auxiliary women’s area, hallway, multipurpose room, offices and wudu areas. (completed)

Phase II: Completing the west wing of the building into a large community hall that includes a sisters lounge, a brother lounge, an indoor playground for the children, a fitness room, a game room, a classroom and an office. (completed).

Phase III: Completing the parking lot. (completed)

Phase IV: Completing the Men’s prayer area and the façade’ of the Masjid including the two minarets. (completed)

Endowment: In 2021, by the Grace of Allah, we launched an endowment to serve as a continuous charity for our vibrant community! Alhamdulilah, by the Grace of Allah, and then because of your support and contributions it has grown to a value of over $700,000.00! A portion of the proceeds from this campaign will fund the endowment project!
