PLEASE READ. We are traveling from Florida to Michigan and seen this beautiful mosque. It was maghrib time and we decided to stop by and pray our maghrib prayer here. When we got there masjid was fully locked . We walked around entire building to look for a water source to take wudu but no luck. I read some of the reviews and I found out that it was for security reasons as I guest. As my humble suggestion masjid can stay locked after prayer hours but at least there could be water source for late arrivals after hours so they can take wudu and there could be small carpeted area outside but covered from rain and such so other brothers and sisters can pray like us after hours.

Also when were there there was an other brother with his family who was traveling from Detroit he said they had same issues in multiple occasions. PLEASE MAKE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE AFTER HOURS ARRIVING BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO PRAY IN THIS AMAZING FACILITY. May Allah reward every single one of you who built this masjid and keep...

Inshallah, may Allah protect our brothers and sisters and may the world know us to be a righteous people who are nothing but positive. It is important not to write off an entire group based off the actions of a few. If any of this mosque’s administration read this, please...
