Nice Masjid, warm family atmosphere. Very nice location, The address of 4th street is also known as "Islamic Way", for the block that the Masjid is on.

Every Masjid has its up and downs. This Masjid has a lot of possitive things going for it. Clean, very friendly (you give salams and people return them), good food, khutbahs and lections that relate to our situtaion in America. Not anti American and NOT pro American either. They are VERY PRO community. Men and woemn sit in the same room but sit separatly. On the down side- the juma can be a bit long. You shouldh ave a enjoyable time there. It's majority African American but juma is very mixed.

I like this masjid! Very open, solidly American, down to earth, no outlandish rhetoric, grounded in a community. Predominantly African America but the attendees welcome all. Women and men in same prayer hall on different sides, which is excellent. Wish more mosques did that. Post-jumah there is a nice community mini-bazaar for men and women. People actually talk to you even if they don't know you, unlike most other DC-area mosques (in others, I've had people talk to me mainly if they want to tell me something about my clothing isn't right). People who love to hear Arabic catchphrases pronounced Gulf-style and see only Arab/desi clothing may not like it here.
