Islamic Foundation of Villa Park — Attraction in Villa Park

Behold, the grand masjid known as IFS "Islamic Foundation Masjid," a place like no other in the country or even the mighty North America! Oh, what an immense honor it is for me, a humble mortal, to attempt to review and bestow stars upon this majestic institution. The audacity! If only masjids could review us, how embarrassed we'd be, unable to meet anyone's eyes.

But fear not, my dear reader, for this is no ordinary review. It is an endeavor to showcase the unparalleled greatness I found in this sacred haven. Prepare yourself, for in the forthcoming paragraphs, I shall recount my visit experience and leave you in awe.

From its humble beginnings in the early 1970s, this masjid has grown into one of North America's largest, accommodating up to 3,000 worshippers, both men and women. Adjacent to it stands the illustrious Islamic Foundation School, nurturing young minds with wisdom and knowledge.

During my visit, I had the privilege of meeting some of the founders and the honorable Imam, Shaikh Nasir Hussein Arubi. His prayers' recitation was simply divine, spiritually uplifting every soul within earshot. The sound system was equally heavenly, complementing his voice like a dream. A must-hear experience for anyone in the area!

And let's not forget the esteemed Resident Scholar, Shaikh Qari Noman Hussain, whose wealth of knowledge and understanding of family and community issues make him a pillar of support for those in need.

As I wandered through the masjid's gigantic structure, the sunlight streaming through the windows created a truly mesmerizing sight. The glass staircase, a beautiful touch, allowing us to observe while maintaining privacy, like peeking through a spiritual window.

It's simply marvelous how everyone, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, are welcomed with open arms. No exclusions here! This inclusive nature makes it all the more extraordinary.

So, dear readers, brace yourselves as you venture to this extraordinary place. Be prepared to be spiritually uplifted and emotionally touched, for it welcomes anyone and everyone to witness its greatness. Truly, it's a sight to behold! And with a hint of sarcasm, I am ever so grateful for the privilege of reviewing this celestial masjid. Thank you, IFS "Islamic Foundation Masjid," for this...

It might be that all American schools are like this, or maybe it’s just IFS—I don’t know. But one thing is certain: my kids are struggling with even the most basic math problems. My child is in 5th grade, yet she cannot solve the simplest equations.

If you want your kids to succeed academically, do not send them to this school. Instead of learning and improving, they seem to be falling further behind. I spend countless hours teaching my kids myself just to keep them on track—so what’s the point of sending them to IFS? I am essentially doing all the teaching on my own.

Please, don’t waste your money and time. If you truly want your kids to succeed, find a better option than IFS. I stand by everything I’m saying, and I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. If anyone wants to dispute my claims, I am more than willing to...

Amazing school! Mashallah, the kids get a lot of education and when most of the class gets drowsy or tired they get up and have just a perfect amount of exercise before getting back to work; the kids get a very long time to eat and use the bathroom as they learn quite a bit; teachers care for kids mental and physical health, as well as them having the right equipment and tools to do all the fun activities. The school makes sure all the kids are happy and there is no crying or hurt feelings. Everything is great about this school; and many of the seniors get excepted to the top colleges in the U.S I am very happy i sent my kids to...
