As soon as fadjr Salât was over they started kicking out people out of Masdjid . Why this people close the Masdjid? . After Jumah Prayer they kick people out after zhur prayer they kick people out . Why are you chasing people out of Madjid why?. ….. America is not a country of your father people as you came other will come too . Why kicking out young African why ? I have been in this Madjid for more than 10 years and the Management has become worse . I really don’t know what happened to this Bangladeshi people . Your government treated you bad and you wanna do the same thing here . They don’t know wallaye how to talk to people . They are always screaming on people with anger . People are not talking not because they are afraid of you . Ohhh my God . Why kicking people out of the Madjid . This Masjid is not for your father of but it belong to Allah. If you don’t want people in Masdjid it better you closed it . I asked the Imam why closing the Masdjid when people are making Zikr he said that’s the management that request that. I asked this guy can I make a suggestion to him as he was rushing me after fadjr salat he wanted to closed the Masdjid not even before sunrise 5:30 . He told me to come at zhur time to make that suggestion. As a Muslim community you talk with hikma with people . And respect them we follow the example of Rassululah our beloved Messenger salalla wallehi was Salam and the way you are addressing to people it is not his way. But rather the way of others . May Allah forgive me . I didn’t want to express something here but it’s better for other to see as well maybe they will come to a good sens. I also believe the quinoa is totally wrong . As I said I have been in this Madjid for more than 10 years . People Used to lean little bit in the right direction but as time pass I saw they make themselves straight. I check with my Garmin watch … I check others Masdjid but when I checked this Masdjid...

Nestled amidst the bustling streets of New York City's vibrant Manhattan area, Masjid Ar-Rahman stands as a true gem, offering solace, spirituality, and a warm embrace to both locals and visitors alike. This mosque not only serves as a place of worship but also as a sanctuary for reflection and community connection.
From the moment you step through its doors, you are greeted with an atmosphere of serenity. The soothing sound of prayers and the gentle hum of conversations blend harmoniously, creating an environment that feels both welcoming and sacred.
For the Muslim visitors exploring the iconic Times Square, the mosque's proximity makes it a convenient pit stop.

The mosque's clean and well-maintained interior further enhances this sense of peace, allowing you to focus on your thoughts and connection with the divine.
However, like any public facility, there are a few areas for improvement. Some visitors have noted the need for better restroom facilities, specifically ensuring an adequate supply of toilet paper. This attention to detail can significantly enhance the overall experience for those who use the mosque's facilities. Addressing this concern would undoubtedly contribute to the comfort and satisfaction of all visitors.
In conclusion, Masjid Ar-Rahman serves as a beacon of spirituality, unity, and community in the heart of Manhattan.

Read moreI love all masjids as they all belong to Allah (sw), but when something is wrong, we need to do something about it with our hands, then tongues, then hearts, like Prophet Mohamed (saw) told us to do.
There are few bidaas/innovations in this masjid unfortunately, such as they make group dowaa after ever regular salat. This is not the Sunnah or Prophet Mohamed (saw) or his sahaba and is considered bidaa. After the salat, people should start making their zikr and dowaa. ONLY after they are done with that (or majority done with that), then the imam can give a short lecture or reminder, but NEVER a group dowaa or group azkaar.
Another thing that is bad is that the people who work in the masjid are the loudest when the khutbah is going on. I understand that they want to direct people to move inside, so that more people can be accommodated, but still, Prophet Mohamed (saw) told us specifically, that when the imam goes on the podium/minbar, anyone talking has made a sin. I suggest if they must talk, to have signs with the directions on them and wave those signs to the worshipers, instead of actually talking out loud.
May Allah (sw) guide us all to his straight...
