This has to be one of the worst mosque's I've ever went to. I attended the Jummah prayer, not only does attendance lack but it's very unwelcoming and the Khutsbah are beyond dull. Avoid this place for prayer if possible, there were better ones inside philadelphia. Maybe not as pompous as this facility, but much more friendly with strong unity among people who attend.

The masjid is primarily a school, so be sure to call before going to pray, since some of the prayers not during school hours may have few to no people there. Women can pray in the main area. The school is an old mansion on wooded land and is huge and beautiful!

Beautiful premises. There is a main prayer/school/office building a separate boarding building. (Pictures are available on their website.) It is on a large patch of land in a quiet and clean neighborhood. Plenty of parking. There is a yard behind the mosque where games and events are held. The prayer area is large, with a wall (with large glass doors so you can see the main area) for women -- although it seems that women could pray in the main area without problems. The imam is easily heard through a microphone and speakers. The floor is nicely decorated with carpets and many books are available inside. The bathroom areas are large and clean.
