When I travel to other cities, I try to visit a local masjid to pray, learn and socialize. Atlanta Masjid of Al-Islam ranks tops on my list for "welcoming masajids."
This masjid has the true "Southern hospitality" that makes one feel right at home. Smiles, warm greetings, and loving hugs are the norm here. The Muslim community follows the philosophy of Imam W.Deen Mohammed, so there is a progressive atmosphere. The cultural mix is predominantly African -American, and you're sure to see Muslimahs wearing colorful expressions of modesty. Outside the masjid there is a pop-up shopping area, where you can purchase clothing, books, paintings, cut-up fruit, handmade items and bean pie after Friday prayer.
I love this masjid, my husband (an Imam in a northern city)loves it, my children and grandchildren love it - there is something here for everyone to enjoy!
