Beautiful large masjid. Was in from out of town and read Isha here around 730 and was open. Clean, bathrooms are clean too.
Great masjid, great community. It seems to be "the masjid" of dallas. The Imam is Dr. Kavakci, a knowledgeable scholar of Islam. He is friendly and gives good talks. Building is nice and big. The community is one of the most diverse I've seen - a mix of many people. Very active and seems to be well organized. Their Ramadan iftar dinners are superbly organized.
Nice place open all the time. Clean and friendly.
facility itself is nice, and they seem to have a nice school. however, it seems there's a lot of underlying sufi influences in this masjid, and a lot of people there seem to engage in lots of various forms of bid'ah. on the positive side, its a big nice facility with a varied multicultural population. but unfortunately i do not see the sunnah as strong here. it seems to be more sufi and culturally influenced practices of islam.
This is a great community! There are good eductional programs going on for women, children, and adults alike. However, the best kept secret about this community is by far the Imam! Dr. Yusuf is a great Imam, scholar, and mentor. Anybody living in this community or passing through owes it to himself to sit and learn from this great man! Not to mention, that the mosque stays open regularly and has very nice and clean facilities. A real plus for North Texas!
