Al-Farooq Masjid is a sound organization, and it is incorporated and registered with appropriate government agencies as a non-profit, religious organization. It fulfills its goals and mission via several functional units such as the main Mosque, Islamic schools, and other mosques.

Al-Farooq Masjid was established in 1980 as a religious institution devoted to the service of the international Muslim community of greater Atlanta and the southeastern United States of America. At the time it was one of a few mosques in the southeastern United States. Since then, it has also served the community at large by promoting goodwill and understanding about Islam and represents a vibrant community from all walks of life that strives to serve Islam. Today, our main mosque is one of nearly 35 in the metro-Atlanta area.
