Dar-ul-Islah

Nice location and diverse demographics. Many affluent people of the area attend. Affiliated with ISNA and CAIR as their members usually attend and give speeches.

Very nice masjid, if you put /mobile at the end of the website you can see the prayer times formatted for iPhone/Android. 'Asr jamaat is at the later Hanafi time. The masjid has been here since the late 1970's, 5 prayers a day and Jummah (1pm-1:40) each week. While construction is going on the women's entrance is closed and sisters will have to enter via the side door - the door is labeled. There's a secondary parking lot about half a block down if the small masjid lot is full.

This is a very nice masjid, in terms of the physical structure. There is adequate parking, and it is handicapped accessible. Women pray behind a curtain in the main prayer hall. There are two entrances to the masjid. However, the women tend to be very poorly behaved. Visiting imams and speakers from around the world have complained about this. Over the several times I've been here, I've seen women refuse to stand next to sisters of a different ethnic group during prayers (ie, moving away from the sister), eating in the prayer hall (the carpet often smells like food when you make sujud), walking in front of people who are praying, moving around during the prayer (I mean changing their position in line and so forth), and talking. I don't know how it is for men, but as a woman who is not Indo-Pak, I felt very unwelcomed, and I was really turned off by the behavior of the women when it comes to listening to the speakers / khutbah and praying with attention to the Creator.
