    The Islamic Mosque and Cultural Center is beautiful! Absolutely stunning interior and exterior. Anyone can walk up to it, and if you're a woman and desire to go inside the mosque -- you are required to put on a hijab (scarf to cover your head), however, it can be loosely worn, not overly tight how some places may enforce the rule of complete coverage. Shoes (both men and women) must be removed before entering as well. Men pray in the larger room where women have an area sectioned off in the corner where they pray in private. They had a couple men on standby for those who may have any questions about the center itself or about Islam. This is open to whomever wants to educate themselves, has a piqued curiosity, or simply if you want to come in and pray yourself. Personally, I went into the corner of where the women's section was and I did say a prayer. I am a Christian, and I felt at complete peace in their mosque. One last notable mention -- they are open to the public on Embassy Day too! That is the first time I got to visit it was when it was open with the rest of the embassies on Embassy Row. I am grateful they have it open to the public and for those who want to be informed can be.

    Conveniently nestled between many of the embassies featured in the European Union Embassies' Open House, this mosque drew many visitors today. Unfortunately their planned bazaar was canceled, and there was no rain-out date. Nonetheless, everyone was free to enter the mosque and look around provided they took off their shoes, and, in the case of women, wore a veil. The mosque is just beautiful. It is easily visible from quite some distance with its classically constructed minaret. Inside, the prayer rugs are gorgeous, soft, and deep. Everything is splendidly designed, even the beautiful courtyard. This really felt like a place of sanctuary. The only drawback was Americans asking which country's embassy this was and not knowing what a mosque is. :-(

    Beautiful and inspiring house of worship. You can't miss the beautiful minaret rising in the air while driving down Embassy Row on Massachusetts Ave. The Islamic Mosque and Cultural Center in DC is a beautiful house of worship for the Islamic faithful. My partner and I visited the site to take in the architecture and take a quick peak inside. Everyone we met was very friendly and inviting. In keeping with Islamic standards, the interior is austere and void of any art or statues. Highly recommended for the curious passerby'ers.

    We went here last friday for prayers. This is a great place to pray. It is similar to the one in london central mosque. The imam delivered the khutbah on drugs and why islam forbids taking them and also advice us all that as parents we should get to know more of our children esp those in their teens. Basically, the khutbah is spiritual and this is the right way how sermons should be delivered. I would definitely recommend those who are in washington dc to come pray here, alhamdulillah.

    Jummah Mubarak

    Then the Imam gathers you to sit at a slightly different part of the same room, and he takes questions about the mosque and Islam in general.
