Every Friday

This Friday

We have the largest Friday congregation in the city, so a diverse list of khateebs gives a first and a second khutbah every week.

1stkhutbah and iqamah
2ndkhutbah and iqamah

This week's times are in the live schedule, under Jumma/Other.

A few things to keep in mind

  • Respect the volunteers and the parking lot rules.
  • Attend the 2nd khutbah if you can.
  • Buy a lunch box after salah. The money supports the masjid.

Prayer and Jumuah times

Tap Jumma/Other for khutbah times.

Charity never decreases your wealth

Great help comes from small, continuous charity. Most of the center's needs would be covered if those at Jumuah gave $7 a week or $30 a month.
