What a huge space dedicated to Turkish culture and Islamic art. The mosque is wondrous when I went for Friday prayer, and the shop is inexpensive, so bought some trinkets. Would have loved to stay in the guest house and also for a bath in the hammam, next time surely!
I love this place. It's one of the most beautiful places I've seen in Prince George's county. I love how it adds to the aesthetics of the neighborhood.
Visited for a musical performance by Al Firdaus. I am not a Muslim and would not pass for one but not a single person even batted an eye or remotely made me feel anything but welcome, and that is out of hundreds of people there attending the fall festival. Now if only I could find church this good at embracing the stranger.
This is such a beautiful mosque that I'll recommend anybody to visit. The best thing is there are many other facilities, such as a sport center, a gym and a library. Give yourself enough time to explore the whole place and take lots of nice pictures.
Need to get restaurant up and running again
EDIT: I'm sorry I should have been more detailed. I visited this mosque at the very end of 2017 for Friday prayer and had a wonderful meal inside the beautiful restaurant. I was really excited about the whole campus. Then on 2 occasions in 2018 I called to determine if the restaurant was open. It wasn't either time and the receptionist didn't know when it would open. Now that I've taken a look at the website again (which I should have done before writing this review), it seems that they have hours set. I'm excited to go back. It really is a beautiful place.
