First and foremost, the location of the mosque is outstanding. Situated in close proximity to the Amazon Sphere, it offers easy access to those working in nearby offices, making it convenient for them to come and offer their prayers. The mosque's central location contributes to its inclusivity and ability to serve a diverse community.
The spacious prayer area accommodated a significant number of worshippers, yet it never felt overcrowded. The organization and management of the prayer space were commendable, ensuring a comfortable and peaceful environment for all.
During the Friday prayer, the Maulana delivering the Khutbah (sermon) was exceptional. His ability to articulate and explain Islamic teachings was remarkable, resonating with the congregation and fostering a deeper understanding of our faith. It was truly an enlightening experience that left a lasting impression.
After the prayer, the mosque provided a delightful surprise by serving biryani. The fragrant aroma of the biryani added to the joyous atmosphere and created a sense of community and togetherness. It was a wonderful gesture that further enhanced the overall experience at MAPS Mosque.
Additionally, I appreciated the mosque's efforts to engage the community by announcing upcoming events. For instance, the invitation to the Eid brunch tomorrow showcased their commitment to fostering a sense of unity and celebration among worshippers. It is evident that MAPS Mosque is dedicated to serving the spiritual and social needs of its congregation.
Based on my visit, I can confidently give MAPS Mosque a five-star rating. The convenient location, welcoming atmosphere, enlightening sermons, and community engagement make it an exceptional place of worship. Whether you are a local resident, a professional working nearby, or a visitor to the area, I highly recommend visiting MAPS Mosque to experience the warmth and...

The prayer hall is one large room with the two sections separated by a rope partition.
Very lovely space with a great khutbah and friendly people. Plan a visit if you can, you won’t be...
Read moreSalam waleikoum. I went to this masjid for the first time this morning for the first Eid al Adha prayer. I was reluctant at first because several times I attended prayers at different masjids and as a black skin person, I did not feel I belonged. The atmosphere tended to not include people like me. This morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see a diversity of people of color at MAPS Seattle. I felt like I also belong to this islamic community. The imam who led the prayer was great. He was well versed, he demonstrated a genuine sense of connection with the attendes and the sermon was one that people can easily relate too. So it was a nice experience which I hope other new comers to this masjid will...
