Very good place of worship. Having very informative and Intellectual individuals on topics about Islam and the Muslim culture. If you’re a Muslim or non Muslim you will be welcomed and treated with respect and honor, But with any Religious organization there will always be politics
Assalamu Alaikum! Ramadhan Kareem! First of all, I arrived at the masjid at 12:45 pm and the zawwal or sun hadnt peaked. The Dhuhr time was 12:54 pm but I was surprised to hear the iqama at 12:55 and the jamaat al Jumuah start at approximately 1:00 pm. Isnt the Khutbah preceded by the two adhans on Jumuah? Did ulema change the Jumuah rules?
Because there more room to pray and when someone die they to this mosque and they take Corona very serious and they keep doing stuff for the mosque not like Orland mosque they said they want to make the parking more room and this happened every Ramadan and nothing happened is going on and they ask help for Syrian refugees and they dont deserve they never help others
This house of God teaches what God loves to see and hear from his servant. To love and cherish others like you love and cherish yourself. And most importantly be honest and merciful to your fellow human being. Pray, fast and be amongst the charitable humans to the poor and less fortunate. And to also teach yourself and your family to fellow the righteous path of the prophet and to read the quran. Pray, fast, love and forgive God bless American and the world with peace...
Sorry to say it feels like I am at a convention place or a event specially on Friday. If they think only Friday is the only day to pray then why so much noises or disturbing in the mosque. Its useless to ask imam to ask people to follow Prophet Mohammad (P. B. U. H). Sunnah because all they have concerns to collect money either its Ramadan or Friday. Or any importance to our beloved Prophets message. Allah really guide us ameen
Friendly staff, very clean bathroom and abolution facilities. There is a shop inside that you can buy Islamic stuff from (books, Siwak, praying mats, Qurans, Hadeeth, etc.) Job posting, cars for sale, merchandise, and apartments for rent are all on the memo board. Very organized during Friday Prayer
My entire experience with the Mosque Foundation has been quite unexplainably repugnant. This mosque and its people were very prejudice, cynical and cruel towards me. Many people (the women in particular) are very absolved in gossiping and ruining other lives. They are very involved in meddling with other affairs and when they personally did it to me, I would never expect this form of shallow deviate behavior from a mosque that claims they are “loving and forthcoming”. You need to be exceedingly careful and selective when you come to this mosque. Most importantly, if you are not Muslim, they do not treat you good. I could personally reveal a lot of factual notes on here but you will observe and understand it yourself when you experience. Just be careful and cautious with this Mosque. That’s all.
I stopped their for Fajar prayer and was pleasantly surprised to see a crowded masjid. They are blessed brothers in the community and they populates their masjid in Fajar is a testimony of their commitment and responsibility. I went back twice just to experience the feeling and I am always amazed how this masjid is unlike any other masjid in USA a very unique and vibrant Arab community. OH I almost forgot to mention the Imam Shaikh Jamal who is a very good reciter and have smile when you talk to him. If you go there and see him give my Salaam to him and the community. JAK
Ive had a negative experience with one of the junior shaykhs here, unfortunately. My family was going through a difficult time and went for help. First, the shaykh forgot about us after the prayer time and we waited quite a while for him.When we did finally get to meet, my family was a bit emotional, given our situation, however, the shaykh was not the least bit empathetic. He, instead, was extremely rude, even after my family apologized for being emotional and didnt apologize himself.He was condescending towards our Islamic knowledge, but I think the shaykh here needs to better learn and act upon the sunnah before he can truly help others. Advice: shed the attitude and try to be empathetic ✌
THE MOSQUE AND IMAMS ARE GREAT. It’s the people and the area that have turned it into Las Vegas!If your driving a Benze they’ll waive hi 👋 if your in a old Camry they’ll call the cops👮 !Oh my God the area is really a drug haven for those lost youth. Gangs drugs plague the area. It’s not 1999 anymore.The owners of the million dollar houses don’t give a 💩. I seen a guy in a beat up car park by a house,owner said hey you can’t park there. Then a lady and her friend pull up same guy says of course you can park,what balad are you from and starts to hit on them.Shame on you!You see the rich crowd together the poor on their own. That’s how it is 2018 Especially here in this area but pretty much everywhere Muslims are going down this path. We are the fastest growing religion and with that comes more and bigger problems. We are the fastest growing in every category, drug addicts,divorce is skyrocketing money is on everybodys minds but their brothers and sisters is looked down on. Poor Man can’t marry Rich Muslim and Divorced nice religious girl can’t marry Anybody except an old man or she’s lucky to find someone. Ask for help for school and they ain’t got any money. But then they scorn you for sending your kids to public non Muslim schools??Cant you guys build a school for ALL!Ask those people across the street for donations. There’s over 1 billion cash in real estate in that area. They don’t even have a park for the teens to play. BUILD A SCHOOL!!STOP BUYING UP ALL THE PROPERTY TO TURN IT INTO PARKING!We don’t need a funeral home or any other parking space. 10,000 people at 1pm Friday prayer. 10 people at 3pm Asr prayer. 2 hours on 1 day of the week the masjid fills up. The other 41 prayers your lucky to get 200 total for the whole week. BUILD A SCHOOL FOR ALL FOR THE POOR FOR THE UNFORTUNATE FOR THE GIRL WHO HAS 5 BOYFRIENDS FOR THE BOY WHO DOES 5 DIFFERENT DRUGS. CMON. ITS NOT JUST THE MOSQUE ITS 50/50. ALL OF YOU HAVE A PART IN THIS.
I have been worshipping at Mosque Foundation ever since it opened back in 1982. Mashallah the masjid has beed a sanctuary and an Islamic beacon for the Chicago Muslim community for almost 40 years. Inshallah it remains the flag ship masjid in America for another 40 years.
Mashallah! This is the most active, productive, and united community alhamdolillah! The Mosque Foundation has many beneficial programs every day for kids, teens, adults, men and women in Arabic, English, and Spanish!! They also support various charitable organizations on a regular basis! The masjid is full every day for Fajr and Ishaa prayers! All by the blessings of Allah (SWT)!
CLEAN MOSQUE.IMAMS ARE SOMEWHAT 50-60 YEARS BEHIND ON THE ISSUES OF THE WORLD BUT I LOVE THEM.THE CHURCH SAYS ITS 300 YEARS BEHIND SO IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR US TO START USING TERMS LIKE COCAIN DRUG ADDICT MUSLIM GIRLS HAVING BOYFRIENDS VICE VERSA. CANT FIX A PROBLEM UNTIL YOU ADMIT TO IT AND THATS WHY I GIVE IT LOW RATING. I ATTEND DAILY.BEST MOSQUE TOP 3 IN STATE. BUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS SO FULL OF DRUG ADDICT KIDS WHOS PARENTS SEEM NOT TO CARE?BAGS OF WEED EVERYWHERE IM ALWAYS PICKING UP AND BEER BOTTLES. BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO ADRESS IT IN A 2017 MANNER INSTEAD OF A 400-500 YEAR OLD REMEDY. AS A DOCTOR I KNOW. AND THE AREA IS FULL OF HYPOCRISY!MUSLIMS TRYING TO OUTBUILD THEIR NEIGHBORS HOUSE 20 BEDROOMS FOR A FAMILY OF 3!??IMAGINE WHAT THE CHRISTIAN NEIGHBORS THINK OF A SUPPOSED SIMPLE LIFE RELIGION..AND THE FACT THAT THERES MORE PARKING THEN SCHOOL SPACE!MORE PARKING SPACE THEN SCHOOL,DRUG COUNSELING,WOMEN SHELTERS, REHAB FACILITIES AND PRAYER SPACE COMBINED!WOW!MY FRIEND NOTICED THIS RIGHT AWAY. HE SAID WHERES THE SCHOOLS??JOKINGLY POINTING TO THE HOUSES SAYING THAT 1 IS BIGGER THEN THE AQSA. WHAT A SHAME.INSHALLAH THEY SNAP INTO MODERN TIMES STOP PREACHING ABOUT CAMELS SHEEP AND GIVING ANCIENT REMEDIES FOR MODERN PROBLEMS PLAGUING THAT COMMUNITY. AS A FORMER COUNSELER AND CURRENT PHD IN PSYCHOLOGY I TRY MY BEST TO TALK TO THOSE I SEE BUT THEIR PARENTS WOULD RATHER PRETEND ITS NOT GOING ON,LET THE KIDS HAVE FUN LET MY SON HAVE A GIRLFRIEND. I PRAY FOR THEM ALL. IM GLAD I SOLD MY HOUSE BEFORE THE GANG AND DRUG ACTIVITY SKYROCKETED.MAY ALLAH WAKE AND SHAKE THEM INTO REALITY AND MAKE IT BETTER

2022-04-22Beautiful masjid MashaAllah but unfortunately very bad experience with the African American brother that is taking care and cleaning masjid. Takes belongings and throws them away like they’re trash. And acted completely unprofessional towards another brother that was new to masjid who didn’t know where to go.I don’t know if he was in a bad mood or just hates everyone there , may Allah guide him.
