So its friday 04/28/2017. The khateeb who looked to be Asian descent was invited or part of the community. However, the khutba(speech) that he prepared in summary was to reject the hadeeth because it was not recorded properly or as carefully as the Quran was preserved including bukhari because he also started 200 years after the prophet. And so to follow the religion and/or understand the Quran, one must use their own experiences in their own time or era they are living and use own senses to understand or interpret Quran and should not relate to what was practiced or done 1400 years ago. Spoke to the person incharge and he took no responsibility and advised me to talk to the khateeb directly.
Just came from here. Alhumdulliah the brothers here are making an effort to make this masjid larger. I can tell the community will get larger. Note: Its hard to find, don't use GPS! follow the directions on their website. Park in shoprite parking lot across the street. If you pass shoprite you went too far. Its in the same place as the thornwood storage place...just further in on the 2nd floor.
