Foundation for Islamic Education

Contrary to the other views on this page, I find this Masjid to be excellent. The community is very active, sponsoring numerous weekend camps, halaqas and sporting activities. The facilities are excellent - the campus was a former college, complete with dorms, full gymnasium/basketball court, soccer field, playground, and landscaped gardens that are the perfect setting for events and weddings. I find Shaykh Mustafa Ahmed to be very approachable, polite and hospitable. His knowledge of fiqh is very deep. He has worked hard over the last several years towards uniting the Philly area masajid in having one Eid. The school itself is very well run. It has won several accolades from the county and state. Reading and math scores are at least as good, if not significantly better than those from the Lower Merion school district (which possibly is the best public school district in the region). I would strongly recommend the masjid to anyone in the area. It is one of Philly's great Islamic resources and should be checked out.
