Shia Association of the Bay Area

Very good place for worship, good people, good Moulana- badly need to have in-house funeral home - need to make it a priority- even smaller organizations nationwide have done it- always surprised at not having such an essential service- please prioritize!!!!

SABA is a shia muslim Islamic center where we the goal of the center is to promote the message of Islam and to facilitate its practice according to the Jafri school of thought. At a given time in special months like Ramadan or Muharram SABA has 4 programs in parallel. Arabic, Persian, English and Urdu. There is food (Tabarruk) served after every program. Also it has SABA Rise academy which is a accredited school upto 8th grade. They have toddlers and TK classes as well.

I love Saba because of the great atmosphere, the kind people here, kids programs, a playground,gym and a big parking lot

It's our second home and family!!
Love Molana Abedi and his family!
Haj Hossein Falahati and his beautiful voice!!
May God bless them all!!

Assalam Alaikum. I’ve been attending Saba Islamic center for the past 13 years. And all I can say is that this community is like family to me. I attend Jumah prayers mostly and also the Shahr Ramadan and Muharram programs. I was treated EXTREMELY well since the first day I attended. I feel very fortunate to be a part of such a vibrant and active community.
Maulana Abidi is a GEM and a true blessing from ALLAH (swt). Sheikh Salim is also an inspirational Alim who has inspired me greatly. Saba is my spot and always will be for Islamic guidance.

This is my hometown mosque that I usually go to. I really love this mosque. Nice design, awesome room, and the space is WIDE open. I usually go here on Thursdays for the Tafsir talks, but whenever theres something special on a different day, I also go there.

I am highly impressed with the amount of work and friendly atmosphere. They have four parallel programs running at the same times for English, Urdu, Farsi, and Arabic. The organizers are friendly, the community is clean, and there is even a place where kids go and learn. If you are in the area and looking for a Shia school of thought, then this is the place to go.

Ramadan has been absolutely soothing, peaceful and full of blessings due to this place. The amount of effort it has gone in rendering all the events I can't even imagine but it definitely brings out the outcome to be absolutely fantastic. Thanks to all the sponsors and organisers for such a Holy experience with following proper SOPs MashaAllah.

I given a 5 star but I can't see this imam barga ,we are new here in berkeley,is there any event which we can go and meet with our community people ..we have no car and other convince to see imam barga .

Very good place for organising any events.
Everything is very systematic over here. The board members are very user friendly. The Halls segregated according to the language and culture of the people and a very user friendly environment located in a very calm and peaceful area easily accessible to all.

Incredible mosque with a wide and diverse ethnic community. Caters to four separate language programs that has a plethora of topics addressed during many of the holy nights. This center caters to every single individual who's interested in learning the true nature of Islam. Lead by a beloved and incredibly knowledgeable leader, this center is one of the most unique mosques in the state if not the country.

Inviting and peace-centric, welcoming knowledge seekers from all backgrounds, all walks of life, and all leanings. I'd say check it out, and tell an organizer you're coming, to have a guided (more like VIP) experience. Best of luck!

Great place for families and individuals. Multiple kids programs based on their age. Host great speakers and offer four language programs in most Islamic events and celebrations such as Ramadan and Muharam. Ramadan is a very exciting and pleasure months
at SABA, they offer free amazing and delicious Iftar ( food) every night, fun kids programs for all ages, four language lectures, tea, and welcoming faces 😍. I have been attending their program for more than ten year and never get bored! 😀 people are very welcoming and friendly😘. May Allah bless their efforts and give them tawfeeq.

#despitethepressreleaseISLAMisthereligonofpeace good for sum NOT for others.

I rather be pro Party of The God than con Party of he liveD.

Great place for solace for family and enemies of The Family. The teaching is authentic, ancient and cosmetic.

Spirituality uplifting religious services catering to all cultures and languages. SABA is a Mosque/community center/school and so much more. Molana Syed Abidi is a very knowledgeable and unifying leader of the community and we are lucky to have him as our resident scholar.
