recent reviews |
| Islamic Society of Central Jersey: ★★★★ One of the more beautifully built masjids in New Jersey, the Islamic Society of NJ has a diverse body of worshipers. The area around the masjid is serene and quaint. The masjid offers several programs and is often packed on Fridays. Nevertheless, significant parking issues remain; notably on Friday, one must wait for nearly 20-30 minutes for cars in the parking lot to make way and exit out of the lot. Despite that, the masjid is probably one of the most notable in Central Jersey. (Submitted on February 21, 2008) |
| Islamic Center of Old Bridge: ★★★★ Limited areas to park within the lot; and, when you do find parking on fridays, you must wait a while for others to make way so that you can exit out of the lot. The facilities inside the masjid were superb. While most of the worshipers were from South Asia, the khutbas were in English and therefore understandable to all. (Submitted on February 21, 2008) |
| Islamic Society of Monmouth County: ★★★ Gorgeously built masjid with ample parking spaces for worshipers even on Fridays. The masjid is located in one of the more affluent areas of New Jersey, and the neighborhood is fantastic to just drive around enjoying the scenery. While there are translation services, the Khutbas are in Arabic. I was told that if one wants to hear the translation, one has to go to another portion of the masjid to hear the translation away from the main prayer hall. I hope that they consider giving the sermons in English instead so that everyone would understand without awkwardly going to another room to hear a translation. (Submitted on February 21, 2008) |
| Masjidul Bayaan: ★★★★ Despite the masjid's smaller size compared to others in Central Jersey, this Masjid has a significantly diverse body of worshipers. The worshipers here are VERY friendly and highly welcoming. This is one of best aspects about this masjid. Often, when one goes to a masjid, many people don't even smile and are indifferent to people who are new to the facility. This is clearly not the situation in this masjid.

| Masjid Manhattan: ★★★★ This masjid, located near City Hall Park and the Woolworth Building, is ideal for the busy downtown working professional. The Masjid is somewhat cramped, but has ample space in the wudu areas. Unless you want to pray outside in the street, make sure to arrive early for Friday prayers. Also, there are numerous halal push-cart stands near the masjid for the hungry worshiper. (Submitted on October 14, 2007) |
| Islamic Cultural Center of New York: ★★★★★ Arguably the most notable masjid in New York. Located in 96th street, finding parking is not as burdensome as finding parking in the areas more south (mid-town/financial district areas). (Submitted on October 14, 2007) |
| Islamic Center of Bay Ridge: ★★★★ The parking around the masjid is somewhat difficult to find since it is located in a busy street. Nevertheless, there are halal numerous eateries nearby that would satisfy even the hungriest believer. (Submitted on October 14, 2007) |
| Masjid Al-Farooq: ★★★★ This masjid has a couple of levels, one level for men and the other for women. The masjid has ample space for prayer and wudu; overall it is quite roomy. There are scores of Muslim business around this Masjid, including book, perfume, and clothing stores along with numerous halal eateries such as a Chinese halal restuarant.

| Albanian Islamic Cultural Center: ★★★★★ While I did not enter the masjid (since I merely drove by), I was amazed by its absolutely gorgeous architecture. 5 stars for its superb design and size. (Submitted on October 14, 2007) |
| Masjid Abu Bakr As-Siddique: ★★ This masjid, administered mostly by Afghans, had significant ownership problems as there were two factions inside the masjid that were frequently at loggerheads. The dispute even landed in Court. Although some of the problems have subsided, the Masjid has lost many of its congregants. Despite is beautiful design, the Masjid may not be as welcoming for a non-Persian(Dari) speaker since some lectures may not always be in English. (Submitted on July 18, 2007) |
| Muslim Center of New York: ★★★★ This masjid is constantly improving as they are building even more facilities to accomodate its growing number of worshipers. The Masjid has a book store and ample parking. The area around the Masjid is cramped however, as Kissena Blvd is not very parking friedly. Nevertheless, the Masjid is ideal for those who seek for their children to attain an Islamic education. (Submitted on July 18, 2007) |
| Astoria Islamic Center: ★★★ In spite of its lack luster appearance, the Masjid is often crowded with worshipers on Fridays. There has been some efforts to improve the exterior of the Masjid. It should be noted that the Khutbas are often in Arabic as a native English speaker may not necessarily understand most of the lectures. (Submitted on July 18, 2007) |
| Masjidus Saaliheen: ★★ This masjid is located on the second floor of a two floor building, and difficult to spot. Fortunately, there is a tiny green minaret on the side to help one locate the masjid. The Masjid however, is not entirely accomodating to woman as I did not observe a section for woman. The Masjid is cramped as it is absolutely difficult to get to the wudu area if one arrives somewhat late for Juma. (Submitted on July 18, 2007) |
| Masjid Ahlul Quran wa Sunnah: ★★★★★ This Masjid has become one of the better Masjids in Queens as the sermons are highly thought-provoking and helpful. The worshipers come from various different backgrounds and are very welcoming and brotherly. The Masjid is conveniently located right next to an Islamic book/clothing store. For the hungry worshiper, on Fridays after Juma, delicious carribean food is sold outside the Masjid. (Submitted on July 18, 2007) |
| Jamaica Islamic Center: ★★★ This masjid is located in a fairly quiet residential area of Jamaica and thus has parking spots to find. The entire facility was in mint condition. (Submitted on July 18, 2007) |
