Darus Salam Masjid was established in 2001 with the vision of creating a welcoming space for worship, community engagement, and Islamic education in Lawrenceville, Georgia. From humble beginnings, the masjid has grown into a vibrant center serving the spiritual and social needs of the Muslim community.
Over the years, we have expanded our facilities, initiated various community projects, and continued to strengthen our commitment to faith and service.
