    Imam Omar is the best. The community is wonderful and inviting. Great family atmosphere and programs for youth.

    I returned to this mosque again this year for the Muharram majalis, and once again I left with a…read moredeep sense of gratitude and respect for the community. Just as I experienced last year, I was warmly welcomed by everyone, especially the ladies who dedicate their time to organizing and managing the gatherings. Their kindness, patience, and hospitality created an atmosphere in which visitors genuinely feel included and valued. One of the reasons I wanted to update my review is that I noticed the feedback I shared last year appears to have been taken seriously. I had expressed my hope that prayers and awareness would also be extended to Muslims suffering around the world, particularly those facing war, oppression, and humanitarian crises. This year, I was genuinely pleased to see the resident Maulana encourage the congregation to remember oppressed communities in their duas. There was also information displayed about charitable initiatives supporting those in need, reinforcing the importance of compassion beyond our own community. Whether my feedback contributed or not, I truly appreciated seeing this emphasis. Despite the large crowds on the nights of the 9th and 10th of Muharram, the organization was exceptional. The event was well managed, volunteers remained calm and respectful, and there was a clear sense of decorum throughout the mosque. The atmosphere reflected dignity, patience, and mutual respect, even with the large number of attendees. I also appreciated the diversity within the congregation. People from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds came together in the spirit of Imam Hussain (AS), creating a welcoming and inclusive environment that truly reflected the universal message of Karbala. The resident Maulana's lectures were another highlight. Each evening's topic was thoughtfully chosen and developed with clarity before being beautifully connected to the lessons of Karbala. His delivery was sincere, respectful, and intellectually engaging without ever feeling theatrical or sensationalized. He spoke with humility, kindness, and compassion, making the message accessible and meaningful. The transition into the masaib was natural and heartfelt, and his recitation of the nohas added to the spiritual atmosphere without becoming overly dramatic. The entire majlis was conducted with reverence and dignity, allowing attendees to reflect on the significance of these sacred nights. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and community members for creating such a welcoming environment. This mosque continues to demonstrate that meaningful leadership is reflected not only through knowledgeable lectures but also through humility, inclusivity, thoughtful organization, and genuine care for the community. I look forward to returning, Insha'Allah.

    I came to the mosque at 11:30 to do some work and listen to the kuttbah. At 12:30 I go to the front…read moredesk to ask for the WiFi and when I arrive back to my seat there is a lady sitting in my exact spot. I apologized and told her that I was sitting there hence my laptop charger, purse, was there. She told me that the spot is reserved for 3 people and that I could not sit there. I told her that she is not allowed to reserve seats at a public place of worship. She asked me who I was and if I've ever been here before. I told her that I've been coming here all my life and she says that she has never seen me before. She kept repeating how she had never seen me before as if that excuses why she's allowed to reserve a public space for 3 people. I went to the bathroom and when I came back to pray I repeatedly said excuse me and she refused to move over to let me pray next to my belonging's. When I told the her co worker an older white lady (i dont know her name but she is the only white lady that works there) she brushed me off and said she worked here. Basically, excusing her behavior because she works here. I've attached the video of her beware please she will belittle you in a place of worship.

    I don't recommend going to this location, had very bad experience and very rude staff! I'm sorry…read morebut this is the truth and such very bad culture in this masjid. I hope they change the people who run this establishment. I do not want to give many details as it was a very horrible experience for myself, for my wife and also my kids on many different occasions.
