Albanian American Islamic Center — Attraction in New York

Beautiful Masjid - inside and out. It's like a little oasis in the middle of concrete harsh desert that is NYC. The community is very welcoming and loving. I was visiting family and was only able to attend Fajr Salah and if the Imam was unavailable, the elders lovingly encouraged me and gave me the honor of leading Salah. It was very heart warming to see the undeserving respect I received from all the elders at this Masjid. May Allah ﷻ grant them all AAfiyah and grant them Jannat-ul-Firdous.

The Jummah Khutbah is bilingual - first half in Albanian and second half in English. There is only 1 Jummah I believe - 1:10 PM Khutbah, and 1:45 PM Salah.

Fourth 4️⃣ People who come there are mostly Albanian and racist and unwelcoming to other races/cultures. Do better. Fifth 5️⃣ They do not allow donations (cleaning masjid etc.)

The only positive thing I can say is that is clean - well built masjid, but it’s the peoples poor behavior that is ruining it. JazakAllah khairan may Allah bless you and specially...

⚠️⚠️⚠️As a Muslim I can’t put 1* but if I think different way I should rate them less then 1* !!! I was bit confused what’s going on in the mosque!!! If this is the place only for Albanian people they should mention google or in front of mosque!!! Only few people are looks manner full rest not at all I would say ‼️‼️ and other people also left the reviews they refused to provide them IFTAR !!! I just can’t believe how people refuse someone for IFTAR!!! Our community everyday provides each and everyone whoever comes in the mosque, I don’t want to say anything more , just letting people knows they are majority people are different!! May Allah bless them . And one more things requesting to this Masjid community please if you guys Allowing only Albanian put sign on the door or google...
