| Irving Masjid: ★★ I was dissappointed with the fact that such a large facility that boasts a great amount of wealth can be on the greedy side. I asked about having a nikah there and being able to bring some food so that the people who came from long distances, some from overseas can be treated well. However small this request was the imam could not commit to a day more than a week in advance and could not be ceratin even then. Needless to say the concept of bring food there was not something he was in favor of. I was so disappointing to be refered to a banquet facility to have our nikah. The sunnah is to have a walima after the nikah so that people can eat and congradulate the couple, not to go broke on two banquets. It was diappointing to be told in a round about way that we just need to go elsewhere and spend a lot of money. I respect the mans religious training, but I did not appreciate the lack of commitment or the fact he demanded a flat rate of $150.00 to perform the nikah. For someone practicing the sunnah I thought it was rather SHOCKING to be asked for a high monetary amount such as that after we just told him we can't afford to do a big banquet hall. I've never read any haddith where the Prophet (saw) asked money to lead prayer, marry someone, or any other service as such. Very disappointing at the heart of things, but yes, the building is pretty and clean if that means anything in the end... (Submitted on August 26, 2008) |
| Dar El-Eman Islamic Center: ★ Very little sense of community here and zero to few salams to be extended. I will be honest and say that I was once a guest at the house of the imam and I could not believe the way he spoke about the masjid not giving him enough money and the people have too many problems. I feel that this honestly is NOT backbiting but that I am informing people that the heart of this imam is not in the best place. I believe that the congregation suffers for that. There is also political promotions for things such as movies that take place at the masjid. Events will be double booked such as an Ahkekha and a video promotion of the same day! Many people have no sense of descency and will help themselves to anything of yours they see fit or will invite themselves to a private event. uest speakers as well as the imam will sometimes drag a Khutbah out over an hour up to an hour and a half! People have to get to work. Its hard enough being Muslim in America without being late to jobs or such things and giving them a REAL reason to fire you. The bathrooms are filthy most of the time and there are only 2 seats to make wudu for ladies. The most beautiful thing about this place is sadly the building itself...
