"Why are Jummah Sermons 45 long minutes? People need to get back to work soon - please keep the Jummah Sermons and Prayer wrapped up in 20 mins."

"I gave 4 stars few years ago hoping that the issue I raised would be addressed by the board of this masjid. Now I give them a lone star. NO ACCESS FOR TRAVELLERS OR VISITORS. A MASJID IS USELESS IF PEOPLE ARE BARRED ACCESS EXCEPT DURING SOME UNKNOWN "PRAYER TIME". If you go online, respect the time and dedication of travellers who set their GPS to your masjid to come & pray..., only to find your locked masjid. This is a shameful trend in many masjids losing the true essence of a place of worship, trying to protect their treasured "vaults". Pls put a tap or garden hose outside for travellers to fetch water for ablution. They can use the bathroom at Wawa gas stop, or Home Depot, or Walmart, or Subway, or Mall, or McDonalds or Library or Safeway but you should be ashamed of yourself for locking up the house of God. You should not be in the Internet community if you want to keep codes & fingerprints to grant access to local members only. What is this? A CIA headquarter? Keep the place open for worshippers...people don't make it at your given "fix" prayer times. You don't even leave a number for a visitor to call a security personal or receptionist. Protect your vaults with codes not the prayer area. Kindly install a tap for ablution outside your locked up building you call a Masjid. Travellers Guide: Please I apologize for the inconvenience and the incompetence of this board, Please carry a bottle of water for ablution and use the bathroom in a nearby departmental store or Wawa Gas Station before coming here to pray. When you come here, be prepared to pray outside, not in congregation (as it is against the US Law) but individually. Masjid Board Guide: You must grant access to travellers and visitors to earn a 5 star. You have a security issue, it's your problem, not the worshippers problem. I can solve your security issues for you in a fraction of a second but I let you, " the board" to do your due diligence. Barring visitors & travellers is a poor PR show by this masjid and this local community. You lose donations and worshippers too this way. Must I remind you that travellers are more open to donating to good masjid causes. They may help you to build an outdoor wudu area and toilet, and prayer area away from you cherished coded vault of a building...if you want to keep your building locked up. Leave a place for ablution and prayer outside your building if you worship inside a bank vault."

"One of the most beautiful Mosques in the tri- state area!"

"Friendly Staff, Very clean masjid and the Imam here is a very knowledgeable Mufti, They are now renovating their Masjid Parking lot now to make it even more accessible for more people to come to the Masjid, MashAllah you can feel the presence of Goodness when stepping inside of this Masjid."

"For Jummah prayer they want you to park very far away and take shuttle which is a minivan. This is when you show up on time. Not late, not a holiday. Normal Friday on a work day. Never seen that before. Not coming back."
