Islamic Cultural Center of New York (ICCNY)

Pros: The Islamic Cultural Center in New York was established with Kuwaiti funding from the late Emir of Kuwait. The center is well equipped and consists of two prayer floors for men and women. There is an annex at the center to provide religious consultations and services to the Islamic community in New York. The center's location is in a distinctive area in New York. Islamic rituals and prayers are performed regularly. Very grateful to have visited the center, a wonderful experience. Overall rating is 10/10. Cons: All was perfect. Nothing to complain about.

The mosque could work on the hygiene when you first walk in the door. It’s a very bad feet smell. The women’s section is through the same door as the large men’s section in the back and up the stairs. VERY small compared to the size of the men’s. Not sure if it’s like that for jummah because I came to pray Maghrib there but I sure hope not cause there were only 3 rows.

Spacious masjid/cultural center of New York in East Harlem, Manhattan, New York City, United States. It is located at 1711 Third Avenue, between East 96th and 97th Streets. The Islamic Cultural Center was the first purpose-built mosque in New York and continues to be one of the city's largest. The mosque's older dwelling in a townhouse at 1 Riverside Drive is still in continual prayer use as a satellite location. For women there’s enough space in the back with a curtain barricade. Was there once for Friday jummah and loved being there. It was quiet peaceful to be there with one of my colleague.

This mosque is beloved to me. In 1991, it opened and in 1991 I became a Muslim. I’ll always remember the kind imam back then named Osman. God forgive and bless his soul. I heard he passed away. So many memories I have for me and my two children going there night or day, for Ramadan or Eid holidays or just for regular prayers. I will never forget Namous too. Allah forgive his soul and bless him too. He helped me once when someone stole my bag and money within it. Many friends I made at this masjid. So many. I am very grateful to imam S. Jalloh who is kind, caring and wise. I will never forget Mohamed Yunnus as well. I pray for many more blessings to constantly be shed on this mosque and all the good people and Angels who go there. I’ll always remember people I met there from Magda to Mona, from Nagwa to Laila, Amirah and Mahmuda and her siblings, Shazia and Latifa. Never can I forget the years of traversing through and to my mosque. Although other mosques are now near me, the ICCNY can never compare. Too bad my kids never got to go to the school there. Also, the women in the bookstore there has always been a kindred spirit to me. God bless this blessed mosque. May it always be run by very good people. Ameen.
