★★★★★ Excellent Masjid, Iftar every Thursday followed by talk of the Imam Dr. Salah Assawy. The Imam is number 1 scholar of north america and is possibly top in the world if not then top 10 (fact, not just my opinion). Very knowledgable and well known. Always a blessing to be here!
★★ Small mosque next to the VA. Lots of people in a small space make it cramped and loud, particularly on Friday. The khutbah is an Arabic with a brief English translation and was not very practical the few times I went there. Women pray behind a curtain, I think, but I can't actually remember ever seeing any there. Bathroom and wudu facilities are adequate but not the most clean. On Fridays, people park on the median on the street outside because the lot is so tiny. Mostly Arab and a few Indian/Pakistani members. I'm not sure why this mosque attracts so many more people than the others in the area; maybe it's just that more people know about it. I would recommend the Dawah Center downtown (take the train) or the mosque off of Richmond (ISGH main center) instead.
