Masjid Ibn Abbas (Upon the Salaf)

"Very great Masjid with a very great community Alhumdullah. May Allah bless those brothers with good Aameen"

"Masha Allah I love this Masjid anytime I’m in College Park area I make my way here brothers are warm and welcoming and community on the Haqq!!!"

"They follow the Quran and Sunnah with the understanding of the Muhammad's companions and those who followed them and those who followed them taking the advise of the bona-fide contemporary scholars and their trustworthy reliable students. May Allah reward them all. Ameen"

"I am so disappointed with this mosque. I have to share my experience. As a Muslim person the only place we have in the United States to give out charity is the mosque. So when the mosque starts to refuse or reject our charities based on some superstitions it becomes an insult. We all know African Muslims believe more in African traditions and cultures than they believe in Islam. I lost my father five months ago. When I was back home in Mauritania we gave out charity for him every Friday. Once I returned to Atlanta, I sought out advice from a Imam. The Imam told me that the best charity for a deceased person is water and the best day to give charity in Islam is Friday. I found a mosque right next to my house and I started to give them three cases of water every Friday. Keba usually gets the waters out of my car. He will then say may his soul rest in peace and may Allah grant him paradise. I always respond thank you and I drive off. On Friday, May 7 I arrived at the mosque with the waters as usual and Keba said, “ the Imam is questioning why do I come to the mosque every Friday and I bring the same amount of cases . He added , if someone is doing something in Islam that they are repeating on the same day and the same amount they have to show proof. The Imam wants you to either bring 4 cases of water on Tuesday or 10 cases of water on a Wednesday. You cannot only come by on Fridays. You have to come randomly and bring random amounts cases of water. You can just stay home and pray for your late father AND, Keba asked me if you had three cases of liquor would you bring it here? “ At that point I was done with the conversation. one I was very frustrated , two I could not believe in this month of Ramadan a man who works for Allah and works at the mosque could use liquor as an example. I just drove off with my waters. I actually had to call my mother, my sister and few friends to tell them about my horrible encounter. My Family and friends helped me understand what the Iman ‘s assumptions were. The Imam assumed that I had went to a voodoo guy and the voodoo guy probably told me to bring waters to the mosque every Friday. Since we are being judgmental, how can a Imam believe in voodoo? I am Muslim. I believe in Allah and Mohamed(Salalahou Alayhi Wa Salam)"

"I love this masjid, strictly upon the Qur’an and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alahi wasalaam and the Ummah is always there for the brothers and sisters! Classes are held everyday after Maghrib. A beautiful place to strive and learn the Deen of Allahu ta’Ala"
