You Are Welcome Here

Al Huda Center welcomes visitors of all backgrounds — individuals, families, students, and groups.

Whether you are curious about Islam, researching for a class, or simply want to see the masjid, we are glad to host you. To make sure someone is available to greet you and answer your questions, we ask that you arrange your visit in advance.

Before You Come

Plan Your Visit

A few details to help your visit go smoothly.

AppointmentPlease Call Ahead
Best DaysAny Day Except Friday
GroupsWelcome
Friday (Jumu’ah) is our busiest day, when a large number of worshippers gather for the congregational prayer. Those who normally host and guide visitors are occupied with their own religious obligations, so we recommend choosing another day for tours and visits.

Inside the Masjid

Masjid Etiquette

This is the house of Allah (SWT) — please help us care for it.

During Prayer

  • Please turn off cell phones during prayers
  • Please talk softly while waiting for the prayer to begin
  • Please remain silent during the Friday khutbah
  • Please do not pray in the walkways, as this is a fire hazard
  • Please monitor small children closely and keep them beside you before, during, and after prayers. If a child begins to cry, it is fine to pick them up and continue praying

Caring for the Space

  • Please keep shoes on the shoe rack
  • Please help keep the masjid clean and use its resources (water, paper towels, etc.) as if they were your own — treat it better than your own home
  • No smoking inside or outside the masjid
  • Please park only in the designated spots
  • Distributing or posting flyers without prior approval is not permitted
  • No overnight stays without prior approval
  • The last person to leave the masjid should turn off the lights and fans
