| Islamic Center of Washington DC: ★★ Salaam. This masjid is very impressive and it has a minaret that you can see from over 2 miles away. It is a historic location and its history is interesting. In my opinion, the major flaw of this masjid is that it has NO community presence. No after-school activities for kids, no organized classes (except for Arabic on Saturdays), no special speakers, etc. The Islamic Center exists as just a place to pray. Other area masjids that are half the size have organized pot luck dinners, lectures, sports activities for kids.....so it remains unclear why the Islamic Center hasn't taken a step forward. It's also true that the Islamic Center does not accommodate women very well. Say what you want about where they should pray (behind, concealed, in the basement) but the net effect is that women have NO role in this masjid. You don't see them or hear them. Insha'Allah the community surrounding the Islamic Center will grow and turn it into the type of place it has the potential to be. Allah (SWT) knows best. (Submitted on December 15, 2010) |
| Baitul Mukkaram Masjid: ★★★ Salaam. Nice place. Nice people. For such a small masjid they attract a devout following and they have regular activities geared towards younger kids. (Submitted on December 15, 2010) |
| Dar Al Hijrah Islamic Center: ★★★ Salaam. This is a nice masjid; very well maintained and the architecture is nice. Also, they do have many activities for kids and adults during the week. As other reviewers remarked this masjid does almost no community outreach. If they are making da'wah it is probably not to anyone in the neighborhood. Culturally this masjid is very Arabic and you can get some very, very conservative views about Islam if you mingle around and talk. This masjid has been a "hot spot" for media and FBI over the years because of some now infamous former members - but the masjid does little in the way to reach out to the community. I have been told this is not a great place for new Muslims because they (members) can be very critical and come off as seeming elitist. Overall, the masjid has a very "closed off" feel - the community is tight but they seem to be suspicious of outsiders; which does not bode too well if you are trying to spread the world of Islam and create a haven for the curious.
