No no, i believe you are mistaken. GMU MSA has the best iftar. Tell me, has your MSA ever had nights where you have fried chicken?...Halal friend chicken? How about Chinese or even Steak and cheese subs? Or we could go traditional and provide same desi or arab food. Haha, we hook it up, dessert included!...sometimes

For what it's worth...Rooh Afza isn't all that great, maybe with milk it's ok. Give me a Cherry Pepsi over Rooh Afza any day of the week! That's why our MSA is better, because we have proper refreshments!

I hate Richmond. I wish I lived in NOVA/DC. Such a happenin' placeee, sigh

Asalaamualaikum,

Good thing about being in the Northern VA area is masjid hopping! I usually hit up Mustafa Center, but yesterday decided on Dar-Al-Hijrah.

Today I shall go to Dar-Al-Noor, then Shirley Gate and then ADAMS. I have to hit up Darussalaam as well! I'll also have to check out Dar-Al-Huda only because it's right next to me, but that will be my last stop before i settle down. I'd like to hit up some more masjids in MD, but I don't know where many of them are. Only one i know for sure is Darussalaam.

Anyone know if Shaikh Adam is leading anywhere?



Asalaamualaikum,

If your planning on going to DUS, they arent having taraweeh at the masjid anymore, its at a hotel off of route 1 further down. Other masjids in MD to you could check out are MCC in silver spring, ICCL in laurel where sheik al raee is leading and Taqwa in Columbia where I think Hammad, who recites really well mashallah, is leading.

Ah, ok darn. Jazakallah khair. That's gonna save me some time and money. I might check them out sooner or later...depends on if I can get a firm grasp of where they are located, without a GPS.
