126 Boston Post Road, Wayland, MA 01778
SUNNI Friday prayers at 1:00 pm. Nightly 'Isha prayers with iqamah within 10 mins after arrival of time. The Islamic Center of Boston (ICB) was established in 1979 (1399 AH) as a nonprofit, nonsectarian religious, educational and cultural organization. Services provided by the ICB include congregational prayers, Ramadan iftaars and taraveeh, a Sunday school, eid programs, educational lectures, and interfaith activities. The center services the Muslim community west and north of Boston although people travel to get to this center from as far away as New Hampshire and Falmouth. Center's membership includes many ethnic groups and represents Muslims from all over the world. In its workings it has been organized as a democratic association of equals; it does not entertain distinctions based on race, color, ethnicity, sectarian affinities, countries of origin and financial standing of its members.

★★★★★ This is the Masjid that I go to each week. The demographics are quite diverse, but the crowd is majority Desi, or so I'd say. The people are very friendly, and the masjid is very organised. The masjid itself is quite beautiful, too. Posted on May 27, 2010 |

★★★★★ I often come here for jummah, the Friday khutbah, and Eid prayers. Alhamdulillah, there has not been a single khutbah that I didn't like (the topics are very relevant and focus on applying Islamic practices in this day and age). Jummah seems to be well attended, as are Eid prayers. Posted on April 19, 2009 |

★★★★☆ ICB Wayland is my favorite mosque in Massachusetts. Why?
Pros:
-The women can actually feel like full and equal participants since there is no partition in the prayer hall or anywhere else
-Out of the mosques in the area, Wayland has the best record for consistent and successful youth activity
-It is a very open-minded and moderate community, no extreme conservatism to be found
-The people are nice!
Cons:
-There is no imam, so the community can be lacking in religious direction which can make it vulnerable
Still, I have had an overall great experience there and I definitely recommend it. Posted on July 3, 2008 |

★★★★★ This community has been around for nearly 30 years, and most recently has seen the construction of a beautiful and spacious masjid that is welcoming to all. Aside from daily salaat and Jummah prayer, the masjid runs a Sunday School, Qur'an/Hadith study circles, lecture series, and extensive youth activities. Posted on August 3, 2007 |

★★★★☆ The name of this mosque is a bit of a misnomer since it is actually located about 30 minutes outside of the city in woodsy Wayland. Strong points of this masjid are its egalitarian membership and leadership structure (it is easy to become a voting member of the mosque and there are even youth memberships available and the elected leadership team rotates regularly), its emphasis on classes, lectures, seminars, discussions, etc. for adults and children, its dedication to interfaith work and the strong sense of community here. It also isn't a place for extremes and associated fitna. The congregation is largely Indian/Pakistani, then Arab. A lot of doctors, engineers and other white collar professionals, for what it is worth. Folks are very friendly. As soon as you enter you will be greeted by salaams by anyone who happens to be around and there is always someone to answer a question or just to make a stranger feel at home. A really, warm welcoming atmosphere. There are quite a few families with children here and the community integrates the children into the life of the masjid. Women pray behind men in the main prayer hall. They are undergoing extensive renovations but it looks as if this will remain the same. Bathrooms were clean and well-kept. The building was simple but well-maintained. There were several classrooms for the Sunday school when I worshipped there and it looks as if these facilities will be expanded in the new building and that they will also be creating a large library. Even if you cannot get here on a regular basis for prayer, this is a good place to visit for lectures, discussions and workshops, etc. - always well organized and thought-provoking. Also, a good place, insha'Allah to take children. Posted on June 16, 2005 |
