>The Islamic Society of South Shore (IS3) is a community organization located in Brockton, MA, dedicated to integrating communities and promoting understanding of the Islamic faith. With the support of generous donors, IS3 recently acquired a building on Forest Ave, marking a significant milestone in their mission. However, there is still work to be done to prepare the building for use, and IS3 encourages continued support from individuals who have previously supported their cause.
Islam, a monotheistic religion that has existed since the time of Adam and followed by prophets such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, has several important doctrines known as the Five Pillars of Islam. These include the declaration of faith (Shahadah), prayer (Salat), charity (Zakat), and fasting during the month of Ramadan (Sawm). IS3 aims to educate and promote these principles to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of the Islamic faith within the community.

a year agoThe Islamic Center of South Shore is an exemplary community hub. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the facility is impeccably maintained. The staff is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely hospitable, creating a sense of belonging. The center provides a variety of valuable services and educational activities, fostering a strong sense of community among its members. It's a place where spirituality and fellowship beautifully converge, making it a cherished resource for the local Muslim community.

7 months agoWitnessed a sister being treated poorly by another. Imam was made aware and did nothing to address the specific situation except to tell a story to try to enlighten everyone and lift the spirits. While this is one was to approach the situation, I feel it could have been handled on a more personal level to make sure there was resolve between the parties. They were dealing with a flooded basement so that may have led to the short tempers and lack of empathy. On the up side it seems like a tight knit community.

7 months agoWent here during Ramadan to pay sadaqa and contribute to/experience iftar at a mosque other than my local masjid. Watched as one of the sisters berated and embarrassed my friend in front of everyone about something that had literally nothing to do with her. I understand that each mosque has different practices in place for different reasons, but as visitors we cant be expected to know all the rules of this specific masjid... When my friend approached the Eman about it, he took little action even when said sister decided to insert herself once again and explain away her hostility. As Muslims during Ramadan, we are supposed to be working on our deen, not creating an atmosphere of contempt and hostility.Do better...be better...we may not always get a second chance. Super disappointed with my experience...hoping that this was a one off situation.

a year agoAddressing the review mentioning this masjidโs alleged prejudice towards white people; a significant proportion of the Muslim children and young women there are alumni of UTOPIA, a former camp program aimed at Muslim youth. The girlsโ and childrenโs art league were led by two white converted Muslims, who were welcomed and ingratiated into the community. They share positive connections with the runners of this mosque to this day. The mosque is new and so is its interaction with converts, but I highly doubt that the predominantly non-Muslim population is completely unwelcome. The mosque is clean, the volunteers polite and kind. The only criticism is at times the place seems carry more work than it can handle.

8 months agoIt was one of the best mosques in Massachusetts, in terms of all the preparations for the comfort and service of the worshipers, as well as a selection of the best brothers who managed this mosque, and they were rewarded by God.
