Nice mosque in Rosemount, pretty close to Eagan where I was staying. I went for Friday prayer with…read morefriends. It's right off of highway 3 across Marcus theater. The building is more than 2 years old. The Mosque association is still working on some improvements such as building a community center with full kitchen to hold events. There's a great gym inside with a basketball court. Right across gym, there are 4 classrooms for Sunday school. Theres a separate room adjacent to the main prayer hall where mothers can join the prayer with infants and still be able to see and listen to the Imam. The Mosque runs a community food shelf once a month where people in need from any religion can come and pick up food.

Let me start off by saying, I am not very religious, but I am spiritual…read more I felt a sense of tranquility when I first visited the Hindu Temple of Minnesota. I always think a place of worship, be it any faith, should be calm and quiet. May be it was just the day I visited this temple, but there were so many people in there reciting hindu hymns and praying to Lord Shiva. It was so peaceful and I think everyone at the temple could connect with the lord. The temple's architecture takes the cake. It's huge for a Hindu temple in the US. I have been to bigger ones in IL and CA before but this one was very traditional in its structure and took me all the way back home to India. The idols of all the gods are so well sculpted. The jewelry and the decoration of each and every god was done aesthetically. You don't need to belong to a certain religion to appreciate spirituality. I think everyone should experience different cultures and respect different faiths. I do and I am happy that I have been to the most amazing places of worship in the US and around the world.

I've been part of the Rabata community for several years, and it's difficult to put into words how…read moremuch it has meant to me. If you're looking for a place to deepen your understanding of Islam while also growing as a person, I can't recommend Rabata highly enough. What makes Rabata so special starts with Shaykha Dr. Tamara Gray. Her leadership is inspiring--she has created an organization that is deeply rooted in the Islamic tradition while radiating excellence, and genuine care for people. You can see her vision reflected in every part of Rabata, from the quality of the classes to the incredible sense of community that surrounds them. The teachers are outstanding: knowledgeable, humble, and truly invested in their students. The classes challenge you intellectually while also nourishing your heart. Whether you're completely new to Islamic studies or have been studying for years, you'll find a place where you're welcomed, encouraged, and supported. One of the things I appreciate most is that Rabata has helped countless people strengthen their relationship with Allah, build lasting friendships, and become better spouses, parents, friends, and community members, including me. In a world where so many organizations feel transactional, Rabata feels like family. It is professionally run, thoughtfully organized, and guided by a clear sense of purpose and excellence. I'm incredibly grateful for Shaykha Tamara's vision and for the amazing leadership that brought this vision to life. If you're looking for a Shaykha, a teacher, a guide, a leader, a spiritual mentor, she's THAT girl. If you're a Muslim woman reading this review, congrats! You've found your place.

This masjid is never open! Why is it closed in a Friday…read moreevening? Are people going to pray maqrib or not? Wow! The area gets no foot traffic that the grass grew on the concrete sidewalk! Where's the so called Al Amal madrassa? You couldn't find students or what? Students lost interest in deen or what? Did owners abandons this place? Hey, if you are willing to sell the building, pls let me know! I have cash. RIBA-free right? I don't think you're utilizing it anymore! I hate to give a masjid less than a 5-star rating, let alone a 1-star. I'm so disappointed with the management!

The Islamic Center of Minnesota offered an open house on this beautiful fall Saturday. They…read moreadvertised on Facebook so being a curious citizen of the world I was excited to attend. Everyone volunteering at the Center today was so welcoming and friendly. Two lovely ladies greeted me as I entered. They explained briefly what to do next. I had all ready RSVPed online so I checked in at the next stop. I got a paper to receive a stamp at each of the informational stops along the way. The first stop was the gym where a well-spoken woman was giving a brief talk about Islam. Did you know the majority of Muslims are from Indonesia? I didn't! She took questions too and was so patient and personable. While you listened to the short presentation you could munch on the most delicious homemade sambusas, falafel, and hummus. Like super yummy! They had cake, cupcakes, tea, hot chocolate , and water too! So generous! I did things a bit out of order and went to learn about hijabs and how to wear the head scarf. Two women helped me and my friend fashion the best style for us with the scarves we chose. Then we took a shuttle bus for the tour of their mosque nearby. It's in a residential area with mostly street parking so the shuttle was a wonderful touch! The gentleman that did the mosque tour was of Indian descent. The woman who did the presentation was of Pakistani descent. The people participating in the 3pm prayers were from families of all different descent. Exactly like my Lutheran Church! So many similarities. We had to take our shoes off before entering the mosque. Then we asked general questions about religious practices & beliefs. Then they were gracious enough to let us watch a group prayer. It was beautiful and contemplative. As someone who tries to do yoga I really appreciated all of the various levels of prayer...standing, a half standing forward fold and then a child's pose. After the prayers and the questions and answers we rode back to the Center via the shuttle. The next stop was the Meet and Greet. The biggest take away from this wonderful conversation was despite their different personal beliefs, say perhaps how to wear their hijab they can all go to the same mosque to pray. Not as many different denominations per se though there are some variations. Next we went to the resource table for pamphlets on the Islamic Center, Islam, and even an English Quran. Because we personally focused on the food, presentation, and the mosque tour for so long we missed out on the henna/face painting and calligraphy station. Oh well. Upon leaving we were given carnations! I had a really great time learning about my fellow neighbors' religion and religious center. If they ever offer other community events or open houses I would highly recommend stopping by. Really lovely people! Thank you to all of the volunteers that put together such a wonderful event!

I also accompanied him to the Mikvah the night before so he could get ritually ready and to do some toveling of key "utensils".

Tonight was my first Holi Festival!…read more My friend Lil Yang and I attended. This Hindu Temple is small yet very beautiful and welcoming! The festivities began at 6pm. The charge was $5 per person older than 3. There was a wonderful program and delicious food! There were many different dances, musicals, and songs! A young gentleman playing the violin was wonderful. There was a mother/daughter dance as the last act which was a joy to watch. I really enjoyed all of the younger kids singing and dancing really getting into their performances! During the program a woman named Priya, stated there were classes 2 Sundays a month for the children to learn about India and all of the culture. I know I'm not a child anymore but I did inquire about the classes after the festivities were winding down. Priya said children usually stop going once their turn16, but I was more than welcome to contact her to find out more about the classes and attend. The end of the evening was and will always be a treasured memory! My first Holi Festival with lots of colors, fun, and a wonderful friend! Lil Yang and I can't wait to attend next year, knowing we will be even more prepared and ready for this exciting event! I definitely recommend everyone check out this temple and enjoy all it has to offer!
