    Baha'i House of Worship - Built in the 50s

    Truly a remarkably tranquil and beautiful house of worship. The gardens are lovely, especially in…read morespring and summer. The welcome center has a lot of useful literature on the Baha'i faith, and it's wonderful to learn more about this incredibly inclusive and peaceful religion, and saddening to hear about the persecution of Baha'i people. I've visited the Lotus Baha'i temple in Delhi before, and the building in Chicago is significantly smaller and less of an architectural marvel. However, unlike the temple in Delhi, the house of worship in Chicago is not a tourist destination. This allows for more serene contemplation, away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. The Baha'i hous of worship is easily accessible by public transport and also has ample parking. The restrooms in the welcome center are spotless. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the House of Worship. It's not a typical tourist destination, but is instead truly a place for contemplation and silence.

    One word: GO! This is the perfect way to spend an hour in…read morethe area. The temple is free to visit every day from 10 A.M. - six P.M. The house of worship includes a temple, gardens, and a Welcome Center. The welcome center has restrooms, a bookstore, and a mini museum filled with pictures and plaques explaining the Baha'i faith and its history throughout the world. Since I visited on a Sunday, I decided to attend the half hour service, so I could see the inside of the temple. The walls are the same color white as The outside and religious scripts are written across the walls in English and Arabic.

It's a very big beautiful masjid both inside and out. I wish could have got pictures, but some of the "old guard" said phones off during Jummah. (and if you know you know; they meant off not silent) Lol They have a lot of rules here that some people may not be use to or offended by. But if you our people then you know rules are necessary!!

I've visited when traveling thru Chicago a few times and only felt welcomed when I was without my family. Somehow the heart and love that should be shown to Muslims is missing in my experience. Infants are prohibited because of an irrational fear of soiling the masjid as though they dont wear diapers, it's the 21st century and babies don'tsoil the Haram but are allowed. Reminds me of the hadith where the Prophet (sws) shortened the prayer when children cried because he was concerned about mothers. Also reminds me of the hadith when a Bedouin urinated in the masjid and he (sws) simply ordered water be poured over it while the rest of the sahabah wanted to beat the man up! [Both in Bukhari] Women are also minimalized if they are on their menses but to not be able to step foot in the facility at all and instead be locked outside is far from the brotherhood/sisterhood of Islam. There are areas that women should be able to wait in and that you dont pray in. May Allah rectify the hearts of the Muslims, ameen.

Allow me to inform you that The Nation of Islam is NOT a regular Muslim/Islam Organization. It was designed specifically for the Black Americans who descended from slavery in North America . It specifically addresses the issues of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Slave Disorder) due to 400 years of Slavery abuse, and continued social injustice in America. There is virtually nothing in the Original Nation of Islam teachings that is in line with the usual Middle Eastern Islamic Teachings. The disciplines taught even down to the diet are different. For example: Middle eastern Muslims smoke.. Nation of Islam members are not allowed to indulge in any intoxicants, whatsoever, including tobacco. Another example is in usual Islam a man can take up to four wives. However, Members of The Nation of Islam cannot marry more than one woman. Also, Members of the Nation of Islam are also forbidden to carry guns. Even the dress code is unique and members of the Nation of Islam can usually be identified by their uniforms, which include a Bow Tie for men and specific Headpieces for the women.

Came here on a Sunday & heard a beautiful message. To my orthodox Muslims, don't speak I'll of then NOI when no Arab ever came to teach the black former slave Islam. Some of you all didn't even consider us to be "real" Muslims. Allah is the best knower. Peace
