Went to an Iftar here tonight, which is part of a series of 4 during the Ramadan season. Not a…read moreMuslim, but I respect different faiths and backgrounds. I've only been to one other mosque briefly and never in San Diego so this was a very new experience for me. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. The food was pretty good especially for a $7/ticket. I am sure they subsidize and sponsor the meals as the food was hefty. If they have more talks and programming I am open to coming back for events.

Enter the Center, and you know immediately that it is a place of peace, tranquility, and prayer. I…read moream not Muslim, so I cannot comment on the religious aspects of the Center. But I can comment on the welcoming and friendliness that greeted me when I visited it with a question. This was before our first trip to Türkiye, and we wanted to learn about proper etiquette when visiting the major mosques in Istanbul. The person I met was very helpful, and also explained the Center.

They are not welcoming of new Muslim reverts and itssad to see. Very performative Muslims who go…read morehere. There's a quote on their wall inside the masjid that says something along the lines of "be good to the traveler and people who come to seek knowledge." Yet they completely disregard it and are very dismissive and even rude to people whoghey perceive as not "Muslim enough. Will not be returning and bringing my kids to a place like this that doesn't follow the Sunnah of the prophet pbuh or even offer hospitality to guests. I want better for my children and the community in general. If you got this far into reading this, stay far away from this mosque. MCC is only around 15 minutes away and is a much better atmosphere and overall feels much more Islamic.

I can only say one thing, sometime yesterday I got this overwhelming feeling to just reach out, and happened to come to the door and was greeted by a man, who welcomed me and sat down with me as we introduced ourselves. I had no idea the purpose of what initially brought me there but sitting down with Solomon, getting to know him and speaking about ourselves, I was in the company of a good man in the presence of God. Community, love, respect, a few things we as a country have to get back to, getting to know your neighbors, and it starts by reaching out. It's beautiful knowing that a lot of interfaith events are happening to bring the community together, but it all starts as individuals. I will say this, I was blessed to meet and be welcomed by a great man yesterday, and I am proud to be a resident in the community of such loving and welcoming people. I look forward to working together, learning together and just making our community a better place by educating the rest of the community to have open minds and hearts. Thank you for a simple and amazing experience, God bless my brothers and sisters.
