Programs and Services
Friday Prayers:
Friday prayers program is held between 1:00-1:45 PM. This is a year-round schedule. The second Adhan is done at 1:00 with Khutba beginning promptly after. Khutba is done in English and Arabic. The Friday prayers begin promptly at 1:30 PM. The current format for Khutba was determined about 11 years ago to accommodate maximum number of people. It was also decided that the main language of the Khutba will always be English, which would facilitate interaction not only with our own language-diverse community but also with non-Muslim visitor. (We receive several non-Muslim visitors every Friday).
