Thursday, August 14th, 2025
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As-salamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
As our congregation grows, we are blessed to have a vibrant and active community. We are also grateful to our neighbors who have been welcoming and supportive. As Muslims, we are called to be the best of neighbors.
It was reported that The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"The companion who is the best to Allah is the one who is best to his companion. And the neighbor that is the best to Allah is the one that is best to his neighbor."
— [Tirmidhi]
Recently, we've received feedback from our neighbors about ongoing parking and traffic issues. We must take these concerns seriously and ensure our actions reflect the kindness and consideration that are cornerstones of our faith.
To ensure we are being good neighbors, we kindly ask for your cooperation with the following parking guidelines:
Our actions outside the masjid are a reflection of our faith. Let's show our community what it means to be a good Muslim by being courteous, respectful, and mindful neighbors. Your cooperation is essential in helping us maintain a positive relationship with everyone in our community.
Jazakum Allahu khair for your understanding and effort.
Wa-salamu ‘alaykum,
