The mosque is open from before sunrise (at Fajr) to two hours after sunset (after Isha). It is open throughout the day to accommodate worshipers attending the five daily prayers. We recommend visiting the mosque during the prayer time so you will be able to meet other Muslims and learn from observation.
Prayers last for about fifteen minutes. We recommend you set at least thirty minutes aside on your first visit to arrive early and meet people afterwards.
When someone is praying they do not talk or respond to questions. A person signifies prayer is over when they turn their head to the right and then to the left. Walking in front of someone praying is disrespectful. When a prayer is in session, you can take a seat at the back of the room and make yourself comfortable. Prayer in a mosque lasts for about fifteen minutes.
Visitors are requested to dress modestly and comfortably. Men can wear sleeved shirts and pants/jeans that cover your knees at least. Women are requested to wear long bottoms. A head scarf is preferred if the visitor wishes to show respect and enrich her own experience, but not mandatory.
The masjid includes a main musullah (prayer hall) and a private sister’s musallah. There are restrooms for men and women with foot-baths for ablution.
There are separate doors for men and women.
As soon as you enter you’ll see a shoe rack where you can place your footwear. Remember to leave both your shoes and your inhibitions at the door.
Please keep in mind that many Muslims do not shake hands with the opposite gender. Unless a worshiper extends his or her hand first, it is better to not extend yours.
Feel free to speak to other Muslim men and women that you meet. They are always glad to answer questions or guide you around.
