The five daily prayers
The mosque is open for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha in congregation. Adhan and iqamah times change through the year and are published daily.
What’s on
The week, the month and the year at the mosque
Most of what happens here happens every week, at the same time, whoever turns up. This page is that rhythm in one place, followed by the parts of the year that move with the moon.
Every week
The weekly rhythm
No registration is needed for anything on this list except the classes, and nobody will ask whether you have been before.
Jumu’ah, twice
Two khutbahs so that everyone can attend: the first at 1:20 PM and the second at 2:30 PM. The second is noticeably less crowded, with easier parking. The first is livestreamed.
Weekend Islamic School
Qur’an memorization, Islamic studies, and Arabic reading and writing. Classes run Friday to Sunday, 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM; tuition is $100 every four weeks.
Qur’an memorization
With Shaikh Mahmoud, for anyone beginning or continuing hifz. Because it follows Salat al-Asr, the start time moves through the year with the prayer.
Youth classes, ages 11–17
A free virtual series with Shaikh Abdullahi Jaranow on general topics in Islam and how they apply to young people’s lives.
Qur’anic Arabic for non-native speakers
A free weekly class for sisters in beginning Qur’anic Arabic for non-native speakers, taught by Nana Defrawy. No registration fee.
Through the year
The dates that move
The Islamic calendar is lunar, so Ramadan and the two Eids fall about eleven days earlier each year, and none of them is fixed until the new moon is confirmed. These are the expected dates.
- RamadanMon, Feb 8, 2027
- Eid al-FitrTue, Mar 9, 2027
- Eid al-AdhaSun, May 16, 2027
Expected dates from the Umm al-Qura calendar; each one is confirmed only when the new moon is sighted and may move by a day.
Ramadan
A month of fasting from first light to sunset. At the mosque it means a lecture after Fajr and another after Taraweeh, iftar together every evening, Taraweeh in congregation after Isha, and the mosque open through the last ten nights for i’tikaf.
Zakat al-Fitr
Paid before the Eid prayer, by every Muslim, on behalf of everyone in the household. The mosque collects it and distributes it locally, so paying it early in the month matters.
Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha
The two festivals: one the morning after Ramadan ends, one during the days of Hajj. The Eid prayer is held in the morning and it is the fullest the mosque ever is — come early and expect the parking lot to be full. The prayer time and location are announced once the date is confirmed.
How a date is confirmed
A date can be in one of three states, and the mosque says which. Expected: calculated in advance so that families can plan, and it may move by a day. Confirmed: the new moon has been sighted and the mosque has announced the date, along with the Eid prayer time or the Taraweeh arrangements; once posted, it does not change. Not sighted: the crescent was not established, so the current month runs its full thirty days and everything shifts by one — a normal outcome, not a failure.
Mosques in the same city can legitimately begin Ramadan or celebrate Eid a day apart. That is a long-standing difference of scholarly opinion, not a mistake by either mosque, and whichever calendar your family keeps, you are welcome here for every prayer on every day.
Where announcements appear
Facebook first, then the mosque
Confirmed dates, Eid prayer times and locations, Taraweeh arrangements, fundraising evenings, the annual neighborhood gathering and community iftars are posted on the mosque’s Facebook page as they are confirmed, and repeated at the mosque after prayers — after Isha on the night in question. Facebook is the fastest.
Read this before booking
Any Ramadan or Eid date given in advance is subject to the moon sighting and may move by a day. Allow for that before booking travel or requesting leave.
