Basic Information

Mosque Jochebed is a sole-purpose religious center for Muslims in South Los Santos along the Rancho/Jamestown neighborhood. The building serves as an historic vestige within the Islamic community of Los Santos due to the rich history its built throughout its existence. Mosque Jochebed is funded with the money predominantly donated by the Islamic Nation of San Andreas.

Mosque Jochebed, previously known as Rancho Mosque was commissioned by a local community of African-Muslim immigrants in 1954. Construction finished on July 16th, 1955. The building served as a place of Islamic worship for nearly 20 years.

 

Mosque Jochebed was bought out in 1973 by the Islamic Council of Los Santos. The effort was mainly organized by the local Muslim community, led by the honorable Sharif Abdul-Rahim, a prestigious Islamic leader from South Los Santos. During its original stages in the 1980's, Mosque Jochebed was used as a place of guidance for recovering crack-cocaine addicts and families suffering from the ongoing internal drug and gang war in Los Santos.

 

Mosque Jochebed continued to serve as a place of guidance for those in need for the following 20 years, and in 2002 the mosque had no other choice but to temporarily shut down after seeing a large decrease in Government funds since 2001.

 

Earlier this year, in 2022, Mosque Jochebed was purchased by the newly founded Islamic Nation of San Andreas. The property was entirely refurbished, and Mosque Jochebed opened its doors for the first time in 20 years on May 27th, 2022.


Los Santos Muslim Mission

Mohamed M. Shabazz is a knowledgeable teacher of Islam, and established a strong following of Muslims in the Los Santos region of San Andreas. Mohamed Shabazz started a monthly magazine called The Daily Voice, which contains articles on Islam, contemporary issues of conscience and African-American Muslim converts.

 

Mohamed Shabazz was appointed as the Grand Imam of the Islamic Nation of San Andreas in 2022, and works alongside the leaders of Mosque Jochebed. The modern concept of Mosque Jochebed, is to serve as a place of worship for Muslims in the Rancho/Jamestown neighborhood, and offer religious services to all walks of life.

 

Shabazz's Muslim community has established a newly formed Islamic school for the youth, and reinstated the historic rehabilitation center for recovering addicts. With the growing number of Muslim converts, only time will tell the future plans for Mosque Jochebed.
