Islamic Center of Southern California

The Islamic Center of Southern California (ICSC), located at 434 South Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles, stands as a cornerstone of the Muslim community in the region. With a stellar 4.6-star rating from over 460 reviews, ICSC is far more than a place of worship—it is a vibrant hub for spiritual growth, community support, and social welfare. The center’s mission is to foster a dynamic American Muslim identity through a wide array of spiritual, educational, and recreational programs.

ICSC offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to meet the needs of individuals and families at every stage of life. Daily prayers are held at the main campus, with accurate and timely prayer schedules provided to help worshippers stay connected to their faith. The center also operates a satellite Jumu’ah service in Pasadena. Beyond worship, the food pantry provides essential nourishment to hundreds of families each week, partnering with the LA Regional Food Bank to combat hunger.

A key service offered by ICSC is its comprehensive Islamic funeral program. Available 24 hours a day via a dedicated funeral phone line (213-447-2002), the center provides complete burial preparation, transportation, Janaza prayers, and guidance through the entire process in accordance with Islamic traditions. This compassionate service ensures that families receive dignified and respectful care during difficult times.

ICSC also celebrates life’s milestones through its Nikkah (Islamic marriage) services, rooted in faith and community. The center’s support services extend to counseling, educational programs for all ages—including Sunday school, STEMS curriculum for teens, and adult Islamic studies—and a variety of community events such as Ramadan programs, Eid celebrations, and family activities.

Open and welcoming to all, ICSC encourages visitors from all faith backgrounds to learn about Islam and engage with its community. The center’s facilities are wheelchair accessible, and its dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to create an inclusive environment. Through its programs, events, and outreach, the Islamic Center of Southern California continues to be a beacon of service, support, and spiritual growth for the greater Los Angeles area.
