MashAllah, very welcoming to both elders and kids. Great quality of Khateebs as well. One suggestion though there should be more programs/events for the kids and even the ones they currently have fill out very quickly; which no doubt speaks about their quality. However, management should look to increase the capacity as well as number of such events. JazakAllah

Wonderful Imam. Very kid friendly and has lots of events. They are expanding and hopefully will start quran classes there for kids and even a school.

Amazing organization and so very helpful to the community. Has definitely been a positive impact to us here and the upcoming generations. Can’t wait for the mosque to be built. There is a parking lot in the back. It’s very accessible to get to from the road. Close to the neighborhood and able to get to walking/biking.

There are three Jumah prayers on Friday. There was a traffic problem entering and exiting parking lot between 2nd and 3rd prayers today 27th December Friday, Sandhill drive was blocked for about 30 minutes with traffic from both directions. Pls maintain strict timing for three prayers. This is winter, day is short,so if we can finish prayers on time, it will be easy for everyone Should keep attention to adjacent neighborhood, not to create any problem for them.

Alhamdulillah blessed to be a part of KMA. It has a special mother and child room which is perfect for young mothers. The prayer rooms are clean,well maintained, hygienic and so are the washrooms. Some indoor games are also available for kids to keep them busy, every week activities are planned for all age groups. Definitely a good place to know your community better .

- Has good khutba timings for everyone ( so if you have work you can go late, or if you have late work you can go to the early one) - Khutbas a great, makes sense, and useful - The mosque is mashallah huge, and they are working to make it bigger Overall: A great mosque.

Wonderful organization that takes care of the community in a well rounded fashion and engaging with all faith bases. They cater to people from all walks of life. They are very lucky to have Imam Sikander. Looking forward to the Masjid completion.
