April, 2025. My husband and I visited the ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness)…read moretemple for the wedding of a Hindu friend and his new bride. The temple is set on a beautiful forested 12-acre tract in a suburb of Washington, DC. While most of the guests had links to Nepal, and spoke Newari and Nepali languages, the Hindu priest regularly took the time to explain, in English, what he was doing in the marriage rituals and their significance, before returning to the actual prayers in Sanskrit. The atmosphere was very festive, with a "stage" beautifully decorated with abundant flowers, and women all decked out in bright (especially red) saris and men wearing traditional vests and topi hats. While the ceremony was going on, guests were encouraged to visit the adjacent room for hearty "snacks" and mango lassis; there was a full vegetarian buffet for guests after the couple were declared husband and wife. It was a special day. After returning home (two hours away), I realized that I didn't know much about the temple, so I visited their website. ISKCON is dedicated to the practice of Krishna Consciousness, also known as Bhakti Yoga. It's monotheistic, with the belief that there is a single source of all life, Krishna. Values include equal vision, without cruelty, humility, choice, nurturing right choices, and affection. It is also referred to as the Hare Krishna Temple of Washington, DC. The temple is very welcoming to all (including non-Hindus) and offers an Open House on Sundays from 12-3. Guests are welcome to come for an hour or a day. They offer a meditation workshop, discussion groups, Kirtan (chanting), and a free vegetarian lunch (prasadam). We didn't know what was going on, but we were actually leaving the wedding at the same time that the lunch was going on. There were outdoor tents set up, and dozens of people enjoying their buffet lunches.

So I would rate my experience good, but I am going to balance it with my sister's perspective…read more Apparently, my sister was suppose to have a blessing ceremony done back when the pandemic hit. In fact, she had scheduled it before the pandemic and the pandemic caused all the states to shutdown a week before she was to do this. On the backend, there was a lot of slighting she felt this temple did or the priest. The priest had withheld funds and put it as a donation instead of just giving it back because a service was never given. Fast forward to a few days ago and he came through. Well, according to my perspective, had I not known about the backend of all this; I would state that he DEFINITELY came through. The blessing ceremony was first described to us in English and then in Sanskrit (which is necessary for the ceremony). Now days, I feel like any priest has to be able to be fluent in both English and Sanskrit as newer generations are never really taught Native Indian languages or meanings of Sanskrit. I also liked the fact that he offered us all coffee and water before performing the ceremony. It is almost like an Americanized...hey...have beer...kind of relationship. Just good etiquette. The crazy part was it was decaf! Man...there are hotels I am still after (Drury Inn...cough cough) who give beverages, but most options are caffeinated. He also stated that all beverages, soft drinks, the temple serves is also decaffeinated. I found that great. The food that was made in temple and offered was also delicious. Mutter paneer and cholay were great. They also like and adopted cats...there is a big grey one named Govinda. How cool is that?

SubḥānAllāh, it has been a little over two years since I first came across the Islamic Heritage…read moreCenter Mosque. I initially began attending Arabic language classes, and over time I was able to benefit from many other Islamic sciences, including Aqīdah (belief), Ḥadīth, Tafsīr (explanation of the Qur'an), Fiqh, Islamic manners and etiquettes, and more. Alḥamdulillāh, throughout my entire time here, I have never once felt uncomfortable or unwelcome. The masjid offers the five daily prayers and holds Jumuah at this location, as well as at the Dunn Loring Volunteer Fire Station just a few minutes away. Friday prayers are held at both locations at 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM. The masjid also organizes Eid prayers along with games and activities for children, making it a welcoming environment for families. This is a Sunni masjid that follows the Qur'an and the Sunnah of our Prophet Muḥammad , upon the understanding of his Companions (رضي الله عنهم). The founder of the masjid was Shaykh-Dr. Nābil رحمه الله. May Allāh make his grave a garden from the gardens of Jannah and make this masjid and school a continuous charity for him and for all those who were involved. Shaykh-Dr Nābil was a direct student of the great Imām and Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Shaykh Ibn Bāz رحمه الله, and also an early student of Shaykh Muqbil رحمه الله. After Shaykh-Dr Nābil's passing, may Allah have mercy on him. His son and senior student, Shaykh Abdur-Raḥmān (may Allāh preserve him), became the imām. He teaches at the masjid every single day-- at times multiple classes throughout the day and night. To Allāh belongs all praise and thanks. Alḥamdulillāh, the credibility and chain of knowledge at this masjid are well-known and clear. It is truly a blessing to have a masjid like this, especially here in North America. May Allāh preserve them upon His Deen. The masjid also offers separate classes for sisters, taught by the Shaykhah (may Allāh preserve her). A strong emphasis is placed on instilling prophetic character and manners, especially among students of knowledge. One example is the consistent reminder of the importance of being dutiful to one's parents--something sadly lacking in our times. Lastly, in an era filled with trials and temptations, surrounding oneself with good company is essential. Such company is found in the masjid, and one of the greatest means of protection from fitan (trials) is seeking beneficial knowledge.

This place is absolutely amazing! We used them for my grandmother and after that experience with…read morethem I refused to go anywhere else when my mother passed. They are incredibly respectful and more than helpful. They respond in a more than timely manner (I was very surprised at the quickness of response), they make you feel welcome and relaxed, and you can absolutely trust them with your loved one during a hard time. Brother Ahmed walked us through the initial process, explained the fee for the expedited death certificates, was willing to work with us a little on everything we were unsure of and the prices are very reasonable. He even prayed with us at the burial and continued to communicate very thoroughly and help us afterwards with receiving the documents and completing all of the paperwork and information. I participated in the washing of the body for both my grandmother and my mother and the two different women who helped were equally amazing. They made it an extremely beautiful and touching experience for myself and my family and helped give us some initial peace and ease the grieving process. I know that we'll return to them again next time we need to. I am truly grateful to them in every way I possibly can be and highly recommend them to anyone who needs this kind of service. You cannot go wrong with them!
