Islamic Center of Burbank

Such a beautiful mosque, close to the freeway. One problem is that the volume level of the inside speakers is insane. I prayed Juma'a here, the Khutbah was loud but...ok. but when salat started and the Imam started reciting, the speakers sound level was brutal... Khusho'a خشوع was impossible. we're praying in no more than 3,000 square-foot room, with volume levels of a football field. To the people handling the sound system: have mercy on our ears.

Needs of the area all amenities good qirat by imam

You'll always find parking. A good mosque is like finding a good gym; the quieter and more secluded, the more peaceful. This mosque is by far one of the more peaceful ones in the valley. ***UPDATE*** I wrote my previous review 4 years ago. Just this very moment I am writing this update knocking it down from 5 stars to a 1 star. The owner/sheikh/imam (some figure of authority) of the mosque was incredibly rude to my elderly dad, my mom, my aunt and me as we were leaving taraweeh (Ramadan ‘24). A little background - my dad has a severe disability and walking, sitting, and getting out of the car is incredibly challenging for him. He needs a cane to get around and uses a chair to pray at this mosque. The mosque’s handicap and accessible parking is not good at all. Whatever options there are, it’s not designed feasibly or safely for folks like my dad. I am his only daughter and we come to this masjid as a family to pray together. Usually it is easy to park however my dad has been battling knee pain as he is healing from a total knee replacement. I parked with a widened gap to give the passenger side of the car some extra room so that my dad can easily get out of the car without injury. After taraweeh finished, the sheikh or owner or whoever he was, flagged down my car, had us roll down the window and was adamant that I get out of the car and acknowledge that my parking was misaligned. He made a scene in front of others, blocked the path of another car trying to leave, blocked another car trying to park, refused to let us go and verbally threatened us over parking. Normally I wouldn’t make such a big deal of this situation……however, this happened during Ramadan (and the last 10 days of Ramadan). Not only did this encounter dishearten me, it flustered me and had me reassess how I *truly* feel about coming here. If this is how my family is treated during the holiest months (and on an odd numbered day of the last 10 days no less!) then on what basis can I ever recommend others come here? I don’t want to say this encounter was racially charged but I often notice that this mosque is so rude to South Asian Muslims. And given that my family is of South Asian heritage, this was a hard moment to endure. If you read this, be aware of the culture here and the microagression/covert racism you’ll experience here because I know for a FACT, that I’m not alone. This parking fiasco put many other sneers and rude looks from non-Asian Muslims parishioners pretty apparent. If this is how fellow Muslims are treated during *Ramadan* then clearly the culture of this mosque needs a drastic change. I pray Allah SWT gives that man hidayah because that is NO WAY to treat anybody.

Beautiful and inviting peaceful place for worship. You feel in peace when you enter the mosque. Macha allah Imame has very nice voice when Preaching or reciting the Quran. God bless you all. Inshallah 🤲

JazakAllah Khair for opening the mosque to travelers. We were on our way to LA and stopped by and the mosque staff was very friendly and opened the masjid for us to make wudu and offer prayers. The masjid itself is extremely well maintained and beautiful Masha Allah! There is parking available across the street.
