Founded in October 2000, the Nour Association set out to create a space for spirituality and culture for the Muslim community in Annemasse and its surroundings. In August 2005, thanks to the generous mobilization of its members, the association acquired a building at 15 rue des Fontaines, in the Perrier neighborhood, which quickly became the renowned Nour Mosque, an essential religious and cultural center.

Today, the mosque welcomes between 400 and 600 worshippers every Friday, with peaks reaching up to 1,300 attendees during special events such as Ramadan and Eid prayers. With a rich program, including Arabic classes, regular lectures, activities dedicated to women, and open-house days, the mosque is a dynamic and vibrant community hub.

To strengthen its communication and simplify event management, the Nour Mosque communication team chose the digital solution Masjidbox, achieving significant results.
