Uqbah Mosque Foundation

Pros: Alhamdu-lillah, this masjid is running well (English khutbas, 5 daily prayers, different activities for new muslims, kids (tutoring), women, men). The people in charge are Brother Ramez Islambouli, who's also a professor at Case Western Reserve University, and Brother Abdullah Jordan, who lives at and takes care of the masjid. Cons: The doors are locked if it's not time for prayer. The neighborhood is kind of old and run down.

As salaam ua laikum. This masjid is truly a multi-cultural masjid with various races and ethnicities represented at every salat. After each Jum'uah there are vendors who sell food, clothing, books, etc...There are many activities for children like camping, swimming, basketball, Arabic, etc...There are also Deen classes as well, such as fiqh, janazah, Qur'an, etc...The masjid is between two major hospitals, museums, and a college but still in the inner city. So, there are muslims here from all walks of life, marsha'Allah. as salaam ua laikum.
