Islamic Society of the Washington Area

Very clean, very welcoming, and very well organized. The space itself is really beautiful and well maintained. The sister\'s area is large and easily accessible. The masjid does a great job of offering programs for youth, sisters, new muslims etc, but could use a little more effort in advertising them to people.

Mid-sized community Mosque, currently undergoing a significant parking lot expansion, is a pleasure to visit. Clean, well lit, inclusive, and well designed to allow privacy for both genders while also creating unity amongst them. This is the first place I have seen that offers tea and coffee to worshippers, a wonderful idea well worth the nominal donation.

Salaam. This is a wonderful community. The building is beautifully designed. The sisters have privacy, but can still observe everything. This masjid is a bit more liberal than most and I observe families sitting together to eat and brothers and sisters conversing (in good manner). All that maybe a reflection on the many Caribbean Muslims who attend This masjid. They are the friendliest and most welcoming people I have ever met. They are many other nationalities that also attend this masjid - Arabs, Pakistanis, Ghambians, other Africans and Asians. What a lovely mix! They pride themselves in keeping the building clean and they all seem to work well together. The restrooms are the cleanest I have seen at any masjid. I have seen the Imam and board members cleaning up - this is something one does not see often and it says a lot. Did I mention that the food in Ramadan is the best. Only problem I saw was parking. People obey the rules, but parking lot is small and most people had to park on the grass in the back. I was told that the county will not allow them to expand the parking lot. I did not get to observe usual programs, since I only attended a few days in Ramadan.

This is a wonderful, small community-driven multicultural masjid which is a pleasure to attended. Cleanest bathrooms of any mosque I have ever been to. It is a converted house with plans to expand it significantly in the near future insha Allah. Imam Faisal Khan is a kind, always on-the-go imam who does a lot for the masjid and the DC community. Most weeks the Jumah khutbas are given by community members so an interesting variety of views is obtained. It can use some improvement and growth, but overall wonderful and great community. If you want to meet people from all over the world go to this tiny masjid.
