The exterior front of Masjid Abu Bakr was used in the Bollywood film "My Name is Khan." The exterior was used to setup the film's mosque scene where the character of Khan (played by Shah Rukh Khan) challenges a preacher's rendering of the story of Abraham's sacrifice of his son. That scene was not filmed in Masjid Abu Bakr; only the exterior of the masjid was used. ![]() On Thursday, November 17, 2016, representatives from Hayward’s five mosques met with Hayward Mayor Barbara Halliday and David Korth, Assistant to Hayward City Manager Kelly McAdoo.
