Of course, the earlier you arrive, the better located you'll be for Jummah prayers. The parking is pretty good. It is located by a commuter parking lot so there are plenty of spaces, unlike many other masjids. I've only been during Jummah, and it is one of the better khutbahs I've been to. They have a sister's area as well (though I can't speak for how spacious it is or any details on it). Overall, if you happen to be in the area it is worth stopping by. They have 12:30pm and 1:30pm Jummah prayers.

Hello and with great respect, I would like to sincerely thank each and every member of the management team of Mustafa Center. You have built and maintained Mustafa Center in a way that is clean, organized, beautiful, and truly admirable for the community. Especially during the blessed month of Ramadan, your 24/7 service and continuous dedication are highly appreciated. This level of commitment reflects your responsibility and sincerity. I would also like to extend special thanks for establishing the Final Home service at Mustafa Center.

I came here for a group meditation on Tuesday evening, and it was quite an interesting experience…read more It was a little more focused on "The Lord" and praying than I'm accustomed to, but everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. Smiles were all around the room. And no one seemed to judge anyone else. It was just people getting together to pray in a more alternative form. The married couple leading the meditation were wonderful. The guy was very profound in what he said regarding the idea of material separation, and the woman exuded peace (and she sang beautifully). There was a drum circle, singing, and meditating during the session. I'm not one to sing church-type songs or sing with people I've just met in general, but I did enjoy the 30 minutes of meditation with ocean sounds playing in the background. I felt more relaxed when I left, so it achieved that goal! Though I could have done without the singing. The drum circle was really cool though. I enjoyed this meditation, but it's really just for people with an accepting, open mind. And an unrelated thing I learned there: apparently there's a 24-hour hotline you can call to pray with someone over the phone.

I intend to come this year, every year for every speaker event in the month of Muharram. I connected with a few women from the center because I didn't have a hijab and one sister was so kind to have me meet her before the services and I asked her how I would find her to give it back to her, she said I could keep it! Other women were so happy that I was there for the first time, they gave me hijabs that were donated. I couldn't stop crying during my experience.

There are only two Meetings within a reasonable distance for me to attend, this meeting in Alexandria and another one at Dupont Circle. Alexandria Meeting is definitely among one of the most intimate meetings I've been to. The Meeting House is small and surrounded by greenery. The building dates back to before the Civil War. For those who aren't familiar with Friends, the worship service is rather unique. There is no minister or spiritual leader in Quakerism. Worshipers gather in silence and wait to be "moved" by the Divine Spirit to speak. When moved, the individual stands up and speaks. The crowd usually does not react (no clapping or such) and speaker sits back down and the silent meeting continues. Meetings can vary from "chatty" to "quiet." This one was on the quiet side of the spectrum. After the hour of silent meeting passes, those present go around to introduce themselves and make brief announcements. Then comes the best part: the after-meeting common meal. The food has always been great and builds a real sense of community, giving you a chance to get to know people in the Meeting. Every time I've gone I've ended up having great conversations with the people around me. I've had people give me educational, spiritual and professional advice. The only unfortunate thing is that the majority of members are quite old and there are only a handful of single young folks in the 20s. RegarI've always had a great time being part of this religious community.

However, there was an incident were I was trying to exit the church while the children are trying to exit as well, the security guard immediately stopped me and treated me like I am some kind of a criminal. He told me to go back and so I did, but the maintenance supervisor used his truck to block the path, he didn't explain why he is blocking the path, he feels like he is entitled to so because I am in their property. So I waited there for a good 30 minutes until he decided move his truck back, but didn't advise me to drive forward, he just ignored me and proceeded on what he was doing. I reached out to the office of this church, the person that I got in touch with said that he is going to forward it to the parish priest. It's been almost a couple of months now and I have not heard anything yet. Just be careful when you are coming to this church after mass, the maintenance people will harass you because they think they are the law.

The church is small for the number of parishioners there now. If you are not 10-15 minutes prior, you will be standing in the back. We have been there for 3 years and routinely come 20 minutes early. I love this parish, but I'll admit that I do not like the actual chapel one bit. The design of the church is the most convoluted and confused attempt at 60s era multi-use. Much like the saying 'a camel is a horse designed by committee', it seems everyone on the design group got to choose a shape, material, and architectural style. I've spent many, many hours wondering what in the world they were trying to achieve. After 150+ masses, I haven't the foggiest clue. The horrid church is more than made up by the best clergy I've had the fortune of being with in 25 years of military travel. Each priest has a tone and style that is unique and works well. The sermons are by far the best part of the mass.
