Islamic Council of America (Madina Masjid)

Closed. Should update their status on Google as it is misleading and wasting our time when stepping away from work.

Maasyaallah, for ladies you have to ask the masjid keeper to have the key to take wudhu. He is sweet and helpfull. May Allah keep and shower in with bless

While this place may be good for brother it is not a friendly place for a sister who wants to pray. If you're a woman I recommend you try out another nearby masjid like IC at NYU. Agreeing with the other sisters comments, save yourself the trouble of coming here.

One of the oldest Masjid in NYC. Very beautiful and clean Masjid👍👌 JUMAH Salat at 1:30pm.

Very beautiful masjid for prayer Alhamdulillah. They open most of the time. Street car parking available.

I have been going to this mosque for years and I must say that they always welcome you with open arms. The management is very accommodating and cooperative. The mosque is well maintained and clean. The mosque is huge and has started working on a plan to expand further. I would highly recommend this mosque if you around the area.

They said it was closed when I went to perform the noon prayer.

This masjid has been closed.

since I been living in the area for almost 13yrs always try my best to help the neighbors and meet new people.. and I help out this masjid madina so man times that the administration people who is in charge of the whole entire building don't really appreciate any hardship work and dedication I ever dedicated to the building, especially the Muslim religion and as much as I try my hardest to help out, brushed off, like I was some type of nobody after all the heavy work I did especially cleaning it up before the construction started especially after all this, I was under the influence turning Muslim cause I had positive thoughts but after everything i Just stay away for now on.. anything you do as far as work want you to do it for free. Also, that was another issue that I couldn't take bills do not be paid off by working for free and always told me it was for allah is not gonna be taken care of the financial problems.

I attended Maghreb prayer here last night and my experience and impressions were different from the other sisters' reviews (maybe things have changed or it was an odd night.) Sisters area was tiny, not very clean, with one bathroom that smelled bad and didn't have a mirror (an extra challenge when you are trying to re wrap a silk hijab). But the most troubling part was that, despite having multiple signs in the sisters area that state "Brothers are not allowed to sit or sleep in the sisters area," I walked in to find a brother sitting there. He was slow to leave, but I figured it was an exception and didn't react seeing that he was leaving. Then once the adhan was called and I was starting salat, he walks back through the curtain to behind me, grabs a bag, and goes back to the men's side. Then someone else tries to walk in through the partition (I'm just seeing feet at this point), sees I'm there and goes back, then when I was doing my sunnah another guy walks all the way through to the back door. I really don't have an issue with mixed gender/non-partitioned prayer, though I prefer and appreciate having separate spaces. What I do have an issue with are hypocrisy and double standards. Imagine if the sisters treated the brothers' area so casually! I was the lone sister there--one came after we started and left while I was making dua (including for the masjid and this situation). I know sisters don't often come in numbers and it does to some extent justify dedicating less masjid space to us, but I think this can become a vicious circle and self-fulfilling prophesy if the space that is there )and the brothers' decisions and actions) do nothing more than discourage and alienate us. My husband came out saying the place was great and it had some of the best bathroom/wudu facilities he's ever seen. Then I told him about me experience. He said I should have said something directly to these brothers, but understood when I explained that I had already started praying. So this is my way of saying something. May Allah swt guide us all in navigating these issues in our ummah.

Madina Masjid is one of the 1st Masjid in New York. The thing I love about this Masjid is that it's always full of congregation. But it's facilities for the sisters could be better. The Masjid has an amazing weekend school for Muslim children from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. The Imam is very knowledgeable with a friendly personality who is ready to answer questions or concerns regarding Islam. The Masjid also has a program for the Muslim American youth every Saturday evening.

Can we please have the new imam as of September 2018 do the entire khutbah in English. The previous imam for the last 8 years always did the khutbah in English. The new imam talks in Bangla for almost 25 mnts and then talks in English for 5 mnts. Please try all english

Was in the area and needed to pray. Never sure as a woman if a place will be accommodating or not (sadly). Stepped in the front entrance off of 11th St and wasn't sure if I should go upstairs or if the woman's area was elsewhere. Just then a brother passed by and I asked. He motioned me in to the main musalla, towards the back. There was a small bathroom (with a sign 'Women Only') in the back of the large room available to make wudu. Next to this was a curtained off area for women. The space was small, but considering there were only 3 of us praying back there, it may be understandable. Though I'm not sure what they do during Ramadan when more women may be present in the mosque. My only concern was how awkward it was then to get my shoes on and leave afterwards...in a foyer of men. Next time inshAllah I'll just wait until activity dies down, I guess. Also, more signage directing women would be nice.
