Al-Noor Masjid
Al-Noor Society was established in 1987 out of the need for a Islamic Center to meet the needs of the community. The Friday congregation is the largest in Texas. The facility is centrally located about two blocks from the major freeway U.S. 59/I 69 @ Hillcroft. Al-Noor has invited numerous world renowned scholars for special events for the last thirty (30) years. In 2012, with the goal to produce Islamic scholars (Ulema) locally, Al-Noor Institute of Islamic Sciences (AIIS) was established. This institute offers three-year fulltime and five-year part time Alim programs.
The Afghan Village
The owner of The Afghan Village restaurant has lived in Houston since 2012 after serving as an interpreter for the military. The restaurant prepares box meals that are distributed to refugees for their first meal when entering the country to meet requirements of a law that requires agencies to serve refugees culturally appropriate meals when they arrive at their destination.
Westward Square Apartments
The apartments are in the Gulton neighborhood where many Afghans coming to Houston make their first home. Fifty-seven percent of the neighborhood are foreign-born.
