Baitul Mukarram Masjid

My heart will always be in this Masjid for how the Brothers treated me when I lived in Arlington.

Sad to rate a masjid this low...I'm sure the organizers are trying their best with whatever situation and resources they have. However, this location is not feasible for women to pray in. The women's section is very dirty and cluttered, almost like a storage room. I understand if there is no room for a proper full section. However, at least the space can be clean enough to pray in. I did not even try going down the stairs to the sisters section down stairs as it was soo dark and dirty. Just stopped by to pray Asr as we were in the area, and unfortunately I wasn't able to. I'd be happy to help organize a volunteer effort to help clean up and make the masjid more inviting to sisters.

I wished this masjid would have been little more accommodating towards people with disabilities. There are a lot of stairs and even at the entrance you have to leave your shoes on the masjid steps. It is not very comfortable and even dangerous.

This masjid is well organized, very clean, always offer tea, plenty of parking and nice community. Love to come here for prayer

Super recitations from both Imam this year in Ramadan, even though the mosque is small, are very organized. We need to support to make it bigger, especially the parking lot. They have a goal of building one. They have 1.5 years left to start on it. They are looking for $400k, please; if you could help support and donate (check their websites) would be more appreciated.

A Great Mosque! The only and a big problem is their timing. A 1:45 prayer performed at around 2:30 and 2:15 is almost at 3 pm and so on.

Sometime Imam took 5 minutes while the other take around 30 to 45 minutes for Khutbah. There is no fixed timing for prayer.

Always give yourself at minimum of 1 hour break if you want to pray jummah prayer here.

Parking everything is good.

Very generous, sincere and hands on people. They help a lot of needy, poor people and youths. I feel my spirituality boasted and calmness praying here. The Imam is very humble, knowledgable and has golden heart and voices leading the prayers. Enjoying it :)
