Good nice diverse people and decent clean facility. Would rate it higher but the khutbahs from the Imam are lacking in quality and substance.
Imam is sincere and very approachable. Same entrance for men and women. Men and women are separate during Jummah but combined during other prayers and services. Follow Warith Deen Muhammad Sunni Islam.
Great community. Not the best neighborhood so if not from the area I would avoid at night....
I really enjoy coming to this masjid for the Friday Jummah prayers. Being an English speaking, America-born person of Pakistani decent, I often don't understand the purely Arabic or Urdu khutbahs. I get nothing out of them except the sense that I fulfilled my duty to offer Jummah at the masjid. At this masjid, it is always a wonderful learning and spiritual experience. The khutbahs tend to be intelligent, relevant and inspiring. Even when there is a guest khateeb, it's usually a very interesting talk. This is the kind of masjid that I feel other masjids need to follow in order to keep the English speaking community interested and inspired. Too many masjids follow cultural Islam traditions that cater to a certain immigrant group. Not here, which is why I identify with the message and spirit of this masjid. May Allah continue to elevate and bless this house of His. Ameen!
Community of WD Muhammad, (Sunni) largely African American but welcoming to all. Small, community feel. Women in same musalla as men for prayers and programming, except juma when they go to a decent upstairs area because the main musalla is modest in size. Unfortunately, khutbas tend to be very long and over the heads of most people there.
