Friendly hospitable diverse community here. They have new large screen TV's in both the women and men side. New carpets and clean restrooms. Women have their own room and can also pray behind the men. They offer two khutbahs on Jummah due to the large amount of people that attend. I enjoy attending programs there and the Imams are very knowledgeable and approachable.
The Imam here Imam Nur is great and I love coming here, I reverted at this masjid and it always will have a warm place in my heart for it. The director of the society Imam Musri does prayer on Imam Nur's days off and I tend to aviod those days, Imam Musri is a knowledgeable but at times can lack a "bedside manner".
I'm a visitor to Orlando and found this place on my GPS. Front entrance is for women and back is for women. It seemed that they are raising money for building a masjid. Overall, this was a good experience.
The women's prayer area is really a seperate building - it looks like it may normally be an indoor basketball court. During Friday prayer they put a large screen tv and sound system to pipe the khateeb's voice and image in. The tv is fuzzy and the sound system is tempermental. If that is "good enough" why don't they put the khateeb in the women's area and let the men watch a snowy picture and listen to far-away voice?
