    I first attended Arabic school at this masjid at it's old location when I was just 8 years old and…read moreI haven't been able to leave this community 18 years later. I absolutely adore this new location. The space is fantastic and is wisely used creating a youth center, a library, a full kitchen, a large patio area with picnic tables and tents, many classrooms and much more. It's consistently clean, provides ample parking, and is in a safe residential community in Walnut Creek. The knowledge and expertise is on another level. These board members are knowledgable about the Islam religion as whole and listen and understand some of the daily struggles that we all face (including conflicts between real world and religion). They hold regular open educational sessions, offer tutoring services, and provide their personal time which they could be doing other stuff to do outreach (like feeding the needy, cleaning up our community streets, and fundraising for several different charities all over the world). I have had opposing points of view on a few occasions (previously being one of the younger members and not as religious as many of the members) and have grown into a role there that cannot be fulfilled by my career or other communities I belong to yet throughout the times I've held opposing points of view, I have still felt like I was still completely heard in the situations by multiple people, that my needs were addressed, and that compromises were made. My favorite part? The community feeling I get attending a place like this. There are several people and they welcome anyone, (Muslim or not!) with open hands, hearts, and an easy ear that genuinely cares for it's members. If you're a new face, someone (usually a friendly board member) will greet you and assist in your needs whether one is just interested in observing, someone wanting to become a member, fulfilling community service hours, converting to Islam, or just simply doing a school project of some sort. The weekly gatherings in which food is served also don't hurt! Overall, I think this place is a secret, sacred, jewel that allows for a safe, secure, welcoming, relaxing, engaging, and open environment where I enjoy spending my time at!

    I do not recommend going on Thursdays for the food donations. The food they pick up THEY take by…read morethe box full. After standing in line for sometimes over an hour and watching what was donated go right into their cars you are told you can only pick 1 thing from each table from what is left after the "volunteers " take their boxfuls. I hope someone looks into this non Christian way of helping people in need

    Many thanks to the school for their help in raising our kids on the standards of the deen. However,…read moreplease kindly remind the teachers that the Quran is not a song to be sung--Astaghfirullah--but rather tilawa (recitation)!

    The best thing about this mosque is that it is open 24/7.When ever I feel lonely I head to the…read moremosque. I love the idea that I can sit their quietly and do my thing. Most of the ladies are respectful and do not pull people's shirts and pants to straighten them although their own clothes are see through . Most of the women do not speak harshly or push and pull during the namaz time. I love the fact that they have extra head covers incase you were coming from work and forgot to keep the headcover after the wash. Most of the women avoid rubbing you in a wrong way .It is better than many mosques in the area. The sermons are very well prepared most of the time and they avoid time filler , redundant and baseless sermons . Most of the people are Americanized so you feel the civic sense of keeping the place clean. Family nights are great. Like all other masjids ,nobody welcomes a single person or a new comer. Like all other mosques there are women groups and they do not welcome you ,You just stay alone in all programs .You really have to find your way on your own to say salam but it does not work because women stay in their own groups. They have very good quality of books in the library .T he bathrooms are well equipped .water fountains everywhere to fill water bottle or to drink. They have classes. It is one of the few mosques where Iam not afraid to enter.
