Very nice, clean masjid. Great atmosphere. We went there for terawih in Ramadan 2014, there were only 15-20 people which made me very sad. That beautiful mosque should have been filled up. For terawih, parking is not a big issue because of the number of attendants but Juma prayers, parking seems like not enough which is very normal because the location sitting on a very expensive land, downtown. I strongly suggest all brothers/sisters to see this mosque. May Allah be please with you all whoever spent any small/big effort for this beautiful mosque.

This mosque is large, beautiful, peaceful, and immaculate. The khutbahs are in English and very practical. It is mainly attended by people working downtown. The main men's area only fills about half way or two thirds on Fridays. There is also a balcony level which is always empty. Unfortunately, very few women come, although they seem to have adequate facilities (I haven't seen them from the inside so I can't say for sure). The parking lot is small, but the location is in walking distance from most of downtown and is right next to the Preston rail stop. My main complaint is that the people were not the most welcoming (no one has said hello or salam to me in the few times I have been there); this has sadly been the case at most mosques within the city. Insha' Allah this will change as more people discover this mosque. Highly recommended to people living or working near the light rail.

Pretty, clean, sometimes hard to get to because of its location.

nice renovation, closes with the end of the workday, and little to no parking.

This masjid is very beautiful inside and very clean. It is the nicest one I have ever seen in the states. On a regular basis, men from around the area come to pray, but women generally are not there during the week. i dont know why, they are certainly always permitted.
