Some masjids are buildings. Dar El-Quran is a family.
Walk through the doors at 110 N Davis Dr in Arlington and you feel it right away: this is not just a place to pray. It is a place where children memorize Quran on Saturdays, where teenagers find their footing on Friday nights, where young mothers bring their toddlers on weekday mornings, and where the whole community gathers when it matters most. A 4.9 star Google rating from nearly a hundred reviews tells the same story. People here feel at home.
A founder’s legacy, carried by his community
Dar El-Quran was founded by the late Sh/Dr Mohamed Elagami, rahimahu Allah, through the Elhedaya Islamic Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit. His legacy did not end with him. It lives on through his students and the community he built, carrying the same vision forward: a leading center promoting Islamic values, learning, and compassion in Arlington, Texas.
The board today is six well-known members of the community, with a seventh on the way inshaAllah: Abid Hamid, Mohamed Elagami Jr., Osama Audi, Fouad FadlaAllah, Abdelrahman Elagami, and Hassan Alhusaini.
That continuity matters. Congregants do not just attend. They inherit.
Two Jumu’ahs, one community
Dar El-Quran offers Jumu’ah twice every Friday: an Arabic khutbah at 1:30 PM and an English khutbah at 2:30 PM. That English service opens the door wide for converts, English-speaking youth, and anyone who wants to understand every word of the sermon. Few masjids in DFW make that effort. Dar El-Quran does it every single week.
An education powerhouse
For many families, Dar El-Quran is first and foremost a school:
- Weekend School every Saturday and Sunday, with over 200 students and 15+ teachers. Quran memorization and Tajweed, Arabic, Fiqh, Seerah, and Aqeedah, taught by an accredited team with a decade of experience.
- Homeschool support with a parent portal for tuition and progress tracking.
- Summer Camp every June through August.
- Character building woven into everything, alongside family iftars, holiday events, and field trips.
Youth, families, and the neighborhood
The masjid’s Pillars DFW youth program runs Friday Night Talks for ages 16 and up, tackling real topics from the story of Adam to the nafs and the aql. Little ones have “Mommy and Me” for ages 1 to 4. Family nights, Tafseer series, and dhikr gatherings keep the calendar full.
And the masjid looks outward too. A food bank serves families in need, no questions asked. Next door to the University of Texas at Arlington, with some 2,000 Muslim students on campus, Dar El-Quran has become their home away from home.
The next chapter: a bigger Dar El-Quran
The community is growing, and the masjid is growing with it. A new center will bring a full mosque and prayer space, accredited full-time homeschooling with a K12 curriculum plus Islamic education, and dedicated community and youth centers. It is the natural next step for a masjid that has outgrown being just a masjid.
One thing is settled: the name stays. A new name was considered for the new center, but it only confused people, so Dar El-Quran remains Dar El-Quran. The name that raised a generation is not going anywhere.
SUPPORT THE MASJID
Dar El-Quran purchased its building and land for $1,300,000, and through the generosity of this community, $1,107,388 has already been paid off. Only $192,612 remains (as of October 3, 2026). Your donation brings the finish line closer for a community that has already paid off 85.2% of it.
