Start of IECOC:

With the vision of a leader, Imam Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini, along with the assistance of a few community members pioneered the establishment of the first mosque in Irvine, California, in addition to being the first mosque that follows the tradition of Ahlul-Bayt (the family of the holy Prophet Muhammad).

The Islamic Educational Center of Orange County (IECOC) opened its doors to the Muslim community of Orange County in September 1996 in a small rented building in Irvine, California. Its focal aim was to provide the teachings of the Holy Quran, the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&hf), and Ahlul-Bayt (as) to the communities of Orange and Los Angeles Counties.

After two-short years, the IECOC community quickly outgrew its facility. With the assistance from Allah (swt), the community was able to raise funds to purchase a new building in Costa Mesa, California. The new location was inaugurated in the Holy month of Ramadan 1420/December 1999 and now serves the larger Orange and Los Angeles Counties.

Our Mission

We are a community striving to strengthen the faith of believers through the Holy Quran as defined and taught by the Holy Prophet Muhammad and his family (Ahlul-Bayt; May the peace and blessings be upon them all).

O ye people! Adore your Guardian-Lord who created you and those who came before you, that ye may have the chance to learn righteousness. (Holy Quran, 2:21)

We exist to encourage all people to pursue a lifelong of righteousness, peace, and belief in One God. Our aim is to serve the community and to teach the words of wisdom and truth through the Holy Quran.

Behold, those who attain to faith and do righteous deeds and humble themselves before their Sustainer – they are destined for Paradise, and there shall they abide. (Holy Quran, 11:23)
