Great mosque and very nice people. They always start on time and finish on time. Jumma is not too long where I would be late going back to work. The wudu area is in basement, and the only way to get there is from the back door in the masjid or the left entrance in front.
There is a Turkish resturant K&B between the two doors entrance to the mosque. The right entrance leads to stairs to the 2nd floor where the mosque while the left door leads to a an area with a small shop sells Islamic books and products but if you pass that you will find to the right an area for men and women separate to perform Ablution wodoa and bathrooms while you will find to the left stairs and elevator can take you upstairs to pray.They perform all 5 prayers and Jumaa prayer Masha Allah; very nice area. In terms of parking will be a bit challenging if you drive but there are few parking meters around otherwise its very hard to find parking in weekdays.
May Allah bless those who are funding this masjid thousands time.... I cannot imagine I could finally find a near by masjid! .... Its the only one close to the downtown and touristic places (as far as I know) ... Plus its clean, especially the toilets, which weird ironically in most masjids.... Its only 15 by train ... What a blessing! .. Again may Allah rewards the funders and those who are making this possible for Muslims everyday.
Alhumdulillah the best place in nyc. Its truly a breath of fresh air after being dulled and desensitized by all the dunya fitna just outside. If I was in nyc I would like to reach out to the multitude of Muslims visiting and working in the area who might not know of the masjid. Instead of spending 50 at Rockefeller or liberty. Contribute some lillah, imagine the concept.Omars restaurant downstairs wasnt open that Sunday. Looked very good however.
Great community that follows the Quran and Sunnah ... no bidda/innovations here mashaa Allah. Remember that when Allah (sw) describes masjids (his house of worship) he describes them with the type of men that worship him in those masjids, NOT by how beautiful the masjids are, or how decorative they are.Read with me from the noble Quran [24:36-37]:فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَن تُرْفَعَ وَيُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ فِيهَا بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِرِجَالٌ لَّا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلَا بَيْعٌ عَن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ ۙ يَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِيهِ الْقُلُوبُ وَالْأَبْصَارُmeaning36In houses (mosques) which Allah has ordered to be raised (to be cleaned, and to be honored), in them His Name is remembered [i.e. Adhan, Iqamah, Salat (prayers), invocations, recitation of the Quran etc.]. Therein glorify Him (Allah) in the mornings and in the afternoons or the evenings,37Men whom neither trade nor sale (business) diverts from the Remembrance of Allah (with heart and tongue), nor from performing As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), nor from giving the Zakat. They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will be overturned (out of the horror of the torment of the Day of Resurrection).
This house of Allah in mid-Manhattan is a treasure for all Muslims. However, the presiding Imam Ahmed Dwaidar is not the perfect imam for the job la hawla wala qawata ill bellah. I would not recommend anyone to deal with this individual for the sake of Allah SWT.I personally dealt with him for the marriage contract of both my niece and nephew. He lacked professionalism. He is short-tempered, highly aggressive, and difficult to deal with. This is my testimony in front of Allah. The masjid needs someone who is close the people, kind to his staff, and professional.
A beautiful mosque to perform prayer, it is spacious and contains two prayer areas, one of which is on the second floor for men. And the second in the third round for women.There are toilets in the basement, below. The bathroom has a shattaf.I hope that every Muslim who comes to this place will donate even a little.There is a donation box inside the mosqueThis is a great place for doing your prayer. contain 2 area for prayer. one for men in the 2nd floor and other for women in the 3rh floor. there is bathroom in basement with shattaf ..I hope any muslem who came to ths masjed to donate some mony.

2022-04-01MashaAllah. Very good masjid in the heart of NYC. Plenty of space for wudhu in the basement and 4 floors of praying area with a special section for the ladies. I come here mainly for Friday prayers but you can do your other prayers here InshaAllah.

2020-12-28I am usually highly apprehensive of going to random mosques mainly due to mosque-goers always trying to proselytize their own brand of Islam or finding faults in others prayers. It is with that skepticism that I went to this mosque, but wow, what a wonderful experience it has been so far! No one bothers you here -- you pray the way you were taught, the way youre comfortable, the way you feel youre connecting with Him (friends reading this may disagree with my approach but I would rather have a few perceived inconsistencies in my ritual but have a deep connection with Him when I pray than be so worried about being ritualistically perfect that I forget the real meaning behind prayers -- humility, gratitude, submission, love, inclusiveness, kindness, empathy). The mosque is frequented mostly by people working in Midtown East and brings in a diverse crowd; its refreshing to see such inclusiveness and diversity in the Muslim community. The mosque is clean, organized and well maintained. The secretary, Mr. Abdul Huq, is a kind, soft-spoken, respectful gentleman, who sometimes leads the prayers. The main imams are originally Egyptian (two brothers) and they have the most beautiful recitation. The Friday khutbahs are about personal repentance, inclusiveness, and leaving behind ones ego and becoming better humans ourselves before criticizing others.They have jamaa prayers 5 times a day and 2 sessions for Jumuah. The mosque opens up for Fajr and then closes until Zuhr time; from Zuhr until Isha, the mosque is open. Men pray on the second floor and women on the third for daily prayers. For Jumuah, men pray on the second, third, and fifth floors and women either pray on the fourth floor. The first Friday khutbah starts at around 1:10pm (salat at 1:30) and the second one at around 2pm (salat at 2:20). The mosque is located on 55th St, between 3rd Ave and Lex. They have two entrances (solid aluminum doors), one on either side of the Middle Eastern restaurant Omars. The entrance closer to 3rd Ave has access to the elevator and stairs to the basement where the washroom and wudu areas are located (there are private washrooms for women), as well as stairs that take you to the upper levels. They have about a dozen wudu stations and the place is absolutely clean and odor-free! The entrance closer to Lex does not have access to the elevator or the basement, just stairs to take you to the upper levels.Unfortunately, being in midtown Manhattan, there is no free parking; as is all over Manhattan, there is either paid street parking or extremely expensive parking decks. However, its easily accessible by subway -- its just a short walk away from the 4, 5, 6 on 59th and Lex or the 6 on 51st and 3rd.Much love and blessings to the caretakers for doing their part to maintain this mosque in a very expensive part of Manhattan; my request is for my fellow mosque-goers to put a little effort too to make sure the cleanliness and serenity of this House of Worship is maintained -- be a little kind, say please and thank you, make space for people to pass, hold the door for someone, make a single line when entering or exiting, dont push or shove or cut in line, smile; it doesnt take much but goes a long long way. We do all these in other places but for some reason, forget to be courteous when were at a mosque -- our ego makes us believe that because we have come to the mosque to pray, we must be better than everyone else, but that is exactly what this mosque is trying to change. If someone is coming in and another person is leaving, let the person exit first before entering, hold the door for that person; if youre doing wudu, try to conserve water as much as you can, and dont splash water everywhere, and clean up after youre done, and if the mosque is empty, turn off all the fans, etc. When we refer to each other as brothers and sisters, let this not just be a term but practice the love and affection we have for our own siblings.

2015-07-23I grew up next to this mosque, and I love it here. It is 5 stories high, with a nice wudu area in the basement, a small shop, there is an elevator for those who need it and spacious areas for brothers and sisters to pray.They are very friendly, they provide weekend classes for the kids, packed Jummah prayers, and great meals all throughout Ramadan. May Allah increase them and keep this place open until the end of time!
