| Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center: ★★★★★ Alhamdulillah, this is by far my favorite masjid. I attend it as often as possible, and insha'Allah I hope to raise my family here someday so that my children will be able to come here. This brand-new masjid is located right in the middle of Roxbury. It is huge, boasting several floors, numerous rooms for prayer and activities, office space, parking, and a dome and minaret. Alhamdulillah, the masjid is incredibly diverse. Women can choose to pray in the main space downstairs or in any of the rooms upstairs (you can hear the imam in these rooms) without any problems. There is usually no barrier in the main hall except for jummah, when there are poles used as dividers between the men's and women's sections (most women and some men pray upstairs during jummah because there is more space there after the main hall gets filled). I really like this masjid in that it aims to serve a huge community, and it puts a lot of emphasis on doing good in the community and interfaith activities. The imam, Imam Suhaib Webb, is absolutely wonderful, Masha'Allah; he has done so much for the community here and has really made the masjid a center for American Islam to flourish. Along with the five prayers, there are activities and events almost daily (see the calendar on their website for more details). There are weekly halaqas, monthly meetings especially for converts, official classes on fiqh, Arabic, and general 'ilm (dubbed the "Ella Collins Institute" after Malcolm X's sister), social services helping people in need of food, clothing, and other aid, spoken word/poetry events, and even gatherings to watch football or basketball games on the big screen in the cafe! (We Bostonians love our sports!) This is a truly special place, and I would encourage everyone, Muslim and non-Muslim, to come spend some time here; everyone is welcome anytime!

| Masjid Muhammad: ★★★★★ I was only here for a few minutes to pray, but Alhamdulillah I really liked what I saw. I went on a Saturday afternoon, and there were a lot of people in the common space enjoying a meal together. The prayer hall was spacious and welcoming, and men and women pray in the same room (although I saw a little room attached to the back that women can pray in if they choose). There were people outside the masjid selling clothes, oils, some food, etc. Everyone I met was very friendly. I would love to come back here at a formal prayer time and meet more people, Insha'Allah.

| Islamic Center of Boston: ★★★★★ 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. (Submitted on April 19, 2009) |
