|
| ★★★★ This is a storefront mosque, and you'd walk past it if you didn't spot the two-foot high sign in front of the curtain in the window. Inside is a somewhat small prayer room with very nice-looking minbar and enclosed pulpit, unusual for a mosque in America. There's no women's area that I can see. |

| ★★★★★ Very clean and welcoming masjid. Khutbahs are in English and include contemporary themes. |

|
| ★★★★ I went to Jumuah at this masjid when I was visiting Atlanta. The architecture is amazing, I was gawking inside like a country bumpkin. I was disappointed at the khutbah service; I'm accustomed to the adhan followed by a khutbah mixed Arabic & English. Apparently this is one of the masajid that thinks the khutbah is in Arabic only so the English at the beginning wasn't considered "khutbah". At any rate it did fulfill my Friday obligation. |

| ★★★★★ MSI on every Fridays has a varieties of Halal Food items for the people to buy and support MSI after Jumaah prayers under the supervision of Br. Anwar Hassan. They have halal chicken burgers, halal browns chicken, halal biryani, halal samosas and some other halal items as well. All profit of this sale goes to MSI. |

|
| ★★★★ I like this masjid, it is small and in a house, but they are praying properly in the right direction and staying on the straight path. It isn't the nicest masjid around, but it is a good place to pray in jamat and not worry about bidah. |

| ★ Not welcoming to other people...seems to be run by a tight clique of desis. If you are Sunni, you are better off going to Khadijah in West Valley.
***The Imam at this mosque was fired from the mosque in West Valley for good reason: http://www.unitedcopts.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=682&Itemid=83 |

|
| ★★★ This center continues to expand its services and hopes to physically expand by building a gym, cafeteria, classrooms, etc., inshallah by 2011. Till then, they hold multiple Friday prayers including at Thomas Farm Community Center (700 Fallsgrove Dr, Rockville) and Casey Center (810 Frederick Ave, Gaithersburg). They also have about 300 children attend their Sunday School classes which are offered from September till May. They have various events and programs such as monthly feed the homeless, adopt-a-road cleanup, family counseling, career workshops, and cultural festivals. You can keep up to date with the latest events and news by visiting their website or subscribing to their weekly email newsletter. |

| ★★★★★ Subhanallah I visited last month and this is probably one of the largest mosque that I've been in. There is a coffee shop, book store and school as well. I was impressed by the brothers who run the masjid for the kindness and hospitality and hope to visit again if given the chance. |

|
| ★★★★★ The Masjid seems to have been converted from a suburban office building but is very spacious on the inside with immaculate wudu areas and accommodations for sisters. I was passing through the area on a Sunday evening and I found the doors padlocked just prior to Maghrib but a couple of brothers arrived shortly to open it up. |

| ★★★★ Very good mosque. The imam on Friday is amazin. May Allah SWT grant him peace in this world and the next inchaa Allah. |

|
| ★★★★★ Dar-us-Salaam is known as a very conservative masjid and the worshipers are also known to be very conservative. What does all this mean? I am not sure but they won't advertise any events that have Hamza Yusuf. The congregation is very friendly however, and Muslims here will talk with you, trade viewpoints and they are extremely active in the community constantly hosting fundraisers, outreach events, supporting women's shelters, raising money for the homeless and the hungry and exemplifying what it means to be Muslim. |

|
| ★★★★★ It should be noted that the Mustafa Center DOES have its own parking lot and has additional parking behind the masjid. It also sits adjacent to a shopping plaza. In short, you never have to worry about parking. The Mustafa Center itself is a beautiful building. It stands out amongst the commercial buildings and residences. It is a good representation of Islam; architecturally it projects a message of both peace and strength. The community at the Mustafa Center is mostly Afghani but even within the past year it has begun to attract a wider variety of Muslims including Arabs, Malaysians, Indonesians and American converts. The atmosphere is very, very laid back and people will talk with you here. The Mustafa Center is not as busy as the ADAMS Center or Dar Al Hijra but it makes up for this with an active, friendly congregation and a variety of programs for both children and adults. In fact, unlike many area masjids, you can always expect to find kids here - making salaat, reading, quietly playing while parents make salaat, etc. Look for the Mustafa Center to become more and more popular as it advocates a moderate worldview, avoids regional, religious-politics and Wahhabi rhetoric, engages with the local community in an easy fashion - all while meeting the spiritual and ideological needs of its congregation. |

| ★★★★★ Salaam. I have visted this masjd a few times and it is, arguabley, the most active Islamic center in the metro DC area. The facility itself is huge and they regularly feature nationally recognized speakers like Hamza Yusuf. It is true that the place can get rowdy with kids running everywhere and men and women mixing in the halls, but I have never seen anything inappropriate; women wear hijab, children were respectful (if excited) and the administration and staff seemed to be firendly. One of the best attributes of the ADAMS center is that it IS family friendly. Other masjids (not to be named) frown on bringing kids to prayer (especially jummah). Single moms, nannies, dads doing daycare can all show up with kids to make salaat. I p[ersonally feel this is in keeping with the true spirit of Islam. I cannot attest to having witnessed the problems that others have witnessed - m y only sugegstion would be that during big events better crowd control and volunteer coordination is needed. If I had to sum up this masjid I would use one word COMMUNITY. Every cross-section of American ethnicity is represented and the variety of opinions (within the Sunni spectrum) I believe actually add to the vibrancy of the place.

| ★★★★★ A real community mosque with an extensive range of activities for all ages and genders. What really sets this mosque apart is the absence of narrow-mindedness among the committee and especially the amazing imam who has built solid relationships with local churches, synagogues and authorities - a breath of fresh air! |

| ★★★★ Women pray to the right of men with one divider between them. Women can view the mihrab through a television screen. Basement is for women with loud children. Free babysitting services provided during Friday night lectures and Jummah prayers. No women on the board. With the exception of the Imam's wife being in charge of maintaining the library, women's participation in any significant role beyond food and childcare is very limited if not non-existent. Beautiful facility, well maintained. Imam fluent in English, good sense of humor, can relate well to youth. Excellent Eid prayer set-up at a recreation facility with plenty of activities for children. Membership: $1000/yr per family. |

| ★★★★★ The Mosque was originally established in 1908 and has played a pivotal role in the Australian Muslim community. The Imam is a learned Alim extremely well educated in the various aspects of Islam and a proficient and inspiring speaker, he is from the UK of Pakistani background so his english is excellent. |

|
| | Los Angeles, CA |
|
| ★★★ This masjid is part of a tightly knit community, mash'Allah; as such, the brothers seem to be a bit suspicious of visitors/newcomers so make sure your pants are rolled-up before you go to pray to prevent any fitnah. |

| ★★★ I've only been to this masjid during Fajr. The locals were a bit friendly if standoffish. As the other poster mentioned, all of the signs are in Urdu, so I have no idea where the wudu room is & only found the prayer room by opening one door after another. |

| ★★★★★ I use to go to this masjid often whenever i visited my in-laws who use to live a few blocks away from here. They have expanded and built a larger masjid which looks very nice. Last time I went here a couple years back, they were crowded and were thinking of buying the land next door to expand further. May Allah make it easy for the community there. Ameen. |

|
| ★★★ Nice interior of the masjid area on the 3rd floor which is open for the women (no barrier), but I notice that unfortunately the muslims do not really help out the poor people directly outside the building. I have also seen homeless people urinating on the walls of the building. Just goes to show the all of us Muslims need to help not only ourselves, but the non-Muslims around us to make the neighborhood better. |

|
| ★★ This is not a warm and welcoming community, perhaps because it's so large. Also, it tends to be very mono-ethnic. As a convert I have felt very much like an outsider. At Eid prayers I have felt virtually invisible. I also find the Imam of the masjid a bit arrogant and self righteous. Students at teh IslamicFoundation School tend to be turned off by his approach of "everything is haram." As a result, I pray elsewhere. |

The community has acquired land and plans to build a huge Masjid, school and place for higher Islamic and scholarly learning. The institute will be called the Cordoba Center and will serve the entire Morgan Hill area. Please help them with this project. |

| ★★★ Went to this masjid for Jumuah over the Christmas holidays (after a 50 min trip from Williamstown, MA where we were visiting family) but unfortunately there was no Jumuah. I did call the number and there was no recording about Jumuah -- but I took a chance.
Alhamdullilah, I was able to pray Zuhr instead in the parking lot at the back.
The masjid looks nice from the outside. Parking is limited -- perhaps 4-5 spots in the back and the rest will need to be street parking. I was not able to go inside since it was locked. |

| ★★★★ I just recently visited this mosque for Jumma prayers and on a random weekday. This used to be a small masjid with a very large banquet hall but they recently built a brand-new beautiful mosque that easily qualifies as one of the most beautiful in Chicago. The dome and minaret will let you know that you're close as you approach. Inside, the prayer space is clean, comfortable, and well-decorated with tons of room for men and women. Jumma features a khutbah done in Albanian and English and is well attended by Albanians and non-Albanians. The mosque is also open on weekdays from 2-6:30 pm although this may change with the seasons. |

| ★★★★ Excellent masjid, large and open at all times. I didn't have the negative experience the other reviewer did. I am caucasian and my wife Malay. People seemed friendly enough, but sometimes its hard to tell people's true feelings with one meeting. No problems if you are just passing through though. |
