Sharaabi, this is for you, pal.  DC misses you.
This the most beautiful Mosque I've ever set foot in. It was funded by a king from Saudia Arabia (don't know which one) about 2 or 3 decades ago. It really stands out amongst the boring office buildings in DC.
So I went there Saturday for Maghrib namaaz. It was raining outside, so I didn't get any good pictures from the outside. I turned the flash off to take pictures inside the Hurram, so they came out a bit blurry.
Enjoy.  '

Alhumdulillah. I wish I lived closer to it. I wish I lived within walking distance to a Musjid - I'd read all my namaazaiN there.
This Musjid is a good half hour away from my house. The Musjid I usually go to is about 15 to 20 minutes from my house.

Oh man, this just brought back all the memories. A beautiful masjid indeed.
This is the only masjid in United States, that i have been to, that does't collect charity, Saudi Govt. pays for all of its needs. So much that they give out free lunch every jumma.

Beautiful Phatima. Ive driven by several times but never had the opportunity to go in. If my family ever gets ready in time at ANY eid in our lifetime then insha Allah I'll get to visit it too.
