Our Community in Houston
Our Community in Houston
Everything’s bigger in Houston, and that includes the heart of the Dawoodi Bohra community. Since the 1950s, we’ve called this city home. With over 2,000 members to count, our members embody Houston’s spirit of perseverance and opportunity, contributing to the city’s industries, culture, and community life.
From the peaceful suburbs of Katy to the bustling energy of downtown, we’re proud Houstonians. We’ve grown and are growing alongside this city, taking part in its story and its future.

Where We Are
The heart of our community is the Mohammedi Masjid Complex in Katy. Inaugurated in 2014, this masjid is the largest Dawoodi Bohra place of worship in North America. It’s where we gather for prayers, celebrations, and initiatives that serve the broader Houston community.
Though, you’ll also find us far beyond Katy. We’re visiting Hermann Park, catching a game at Minute Maid Park, or volunteering to make our city better. Houston culture is woven into our lives, from its iconic rodeos to its world-class museums and universities.

Our Story
The Dawoodi Bohra story in Houston began in the 1950s when a few families settled here, drawn by the city’s opportunities and welcoming spirit. By 2001, our growing numbers led to the construction of a masjid in Katy. In 2014, the inauguration of the Mohammedi Masjid Complex marked a new chapter for our community, reflecting our growth and deep roots in Houston.
Our Story
Resilience is in Houston’s DNA, and our community lives by this value. After Hurricane Harvey devastated parts of the city in 2017, our masjid’s industrial kitchen prepared 20,000 meals for those sheltering at the George R. Brown Convention Center.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner recognized our efforts, calling them a reflection of the generosity and spirit that define this city, “I applaud the leadership and responsiveness of this community. Your generosity truly reflects the spirit of Houston as does your candid spirit reflect the spirit of Texas.”
Today, we’re a vibrant group of professionals, students, and entrepreneurs, committed to making Houston a city of opportunity for everyone.
