 Very nice Masjid, conveniently located. Gorgeous architecture, very spacious, nice bazaar outside after Jummah

 I really liked this masjid when I visited it. It felt like a mosque... it felt like Allah(swt) was there... hard to explain, but not all masjids give me that feeling. I liked the little alcoves for the Sisters--I didn't feel like a second class citizen... instead I felt like I had my own little suite where I could focus on Allah(swt). I only wished that I lived closer so that I could go more frequently. The khutbah I heard was good...and the Imam's English was quite good as well.

 I went to the masjid one time. You can't help but to be impressed by the architecture of the place. Clean bathrooms and the sisters space during non juma days is decent.

Great masjid, has a diverse group of Muslims. The masjid is kept in great shape, beautiful to the eye, and is accomodating to a diverse array of Muslims. Also has a small shop in the first floor, and is always open.

Beautiful, clean and comfortable. It is however, the only mosque that I've been to in which other sisters warned me to watch my bag and shoes. But I guess if you have a completely open access building in NYC you have to worry about stuff like that. The wudu area is very nice and quite clean. The women are separated from the men during prayer into cubicles/rooms by floor to ceiling opaque curtains. I haven't actually been there for jumuah so I don't know how things work then. I found the little rooms to be really peaceful spaces in which to pray, probably less distracting than the brothers' space where people are constantly coming and going.

This is a beautiful Masjid. They have brought in some amazing speakers and sheikhs for Ramadan. women's area on the first floor/basement as well as in alcove/balcony above main prayer hall. In the basement there is audio/tv to hear the kutba.
