Islamic Center of Greater Lansing

Great masjid mashaAllah. Had a wonderful time here

I became muslim in this community and everyone is very welcoming and friendly. There are people from all nationalities and backgrounds that attend this masjid because it is the only masjid in Lansing. Despite the building construction in the 70's which isnt very modern the women and the men do have joint lectures and events and i never felt put in the corner b/c i am a woman. The masjid also has a FT islamic school Pre-K -8th grade attached in the back.

Nice people, they sell food sometimes but you have to go to the brother's side to get it. Also this masjid conforms to a style that I usually see from masaajid who got donations from Gulf countries for its construction: separate women's room behind the men's with windows to the main musalla but theyre always covered in blinds. Somewhat off-putting to be so far away from where the action is. How can anyone ask a question of the Imam or feel comfortable doing so when he is on the other side of the building? ISNA president Ingrid Mattson was right- we need more female-friendly masaajid! Aside from that it was clean and a few sisters welcomed me even though I was wearing niqab at that time.
