Muslims began settling in Lexington, Kentucky just over 40 years ago with a small group becoming organized in 1975. Before that time, there was no masjid for Jumah prayer or any collective expression of Islam in Lexington.
In 1978, after having rented and been displaced from several facilities, this small group of Muslims was blessed with a permanent location at 572 Georgetown Street. This became the first masjid in Lexington, and was later named Masjid Bilal Ibn Rabah. After renting at the location for over two decades, Masjid Bilal took ownership of the Georgetown property in 2001. In time, this small facility became a focal point for many Muslims in Lexington.
