At Houston’s Latino-led mosque, an increasingly multicultural city is on display
Ana Ortiz stands in front of the Ramadan closet at IslamInSpanish in Houston, Saturday, April 15, 2023. Ortiz, along with others, gathers clothing donations to provide to members of the congregation who need them for Eid.As the sun set Saturday night over Alief, Mujahid Fletcher broke his Ramadan fast reflecting on how much his mosque has grown.
Biswas, a professor at the University of Texas at Tyler’s Houston Engineering Center, has been living in Houston for a decade and said he has not found a mosque as welcoming as IslamInSpanish. Foods from other cultures are also showcased at the events, as was the case Saturday night when a Pakistani couple brought butter chicken, basmati rice and naan.
For Johnny Lopez, who converted nearly two years ago, IslamInSpanish has provided the stability he’s longed for since he was a child growing up in north Houston.
