Masjid al-Rabia was an LGBT-affirming and woman-centered mosque in Chicago.[1]
The organizers were Mahdia Lynn and Zaynab Shahar.[1]
The mosque offered its first Friday prayer the first week of December 2017.[2]
Masjid al-Rabia had mixed-gender prayers and encouraged women to lead them.[3] The mosque sought to provide all Muslims with a place to pray.[4]
A representative of the Prayer Center, a Muslim organization in nearby Orland Park, Illinois, said the activities of Masjid al-Rabia are contrary to Muslim faith.[5] Masjid al-Rabia announced on its Instagram page that it would be closing, holding its final virtual event on February 10th, 2024.[6] Co-founder Mahdia Lynn died in September 2024.
