The weekly sessions are broadcast online to the worldwide Spanish-speaking Muslim population.[1] In 2016, IslamInSpanish opened up the first Spanish-speaking mosque in Houston.[2] IslamInSpanish, in cooperation with the Texas Dawah Convention, organized the first National Latino Muslim Convention in December 2016.
