Masjid Etiquette

Masjid An-Nur welcomes all visitors.
It is customary that we remove our shoes and sit on the carpeted floor in the Musallah (prayer hall).
We can accommodate anyone that requires a chair.

YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION IS NEEDED TO THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:

Turn off cell phones and pagers when in the Musallah.

Place shoes on the racks.  DO NOT leave shoes in the middle of the halls.

WUDU STATIONS are on the lower level.  DO NOT make wudu in the upstairs restrooms.  We must keep the floors dry for safety’s sake.  Please wear your shoes at all times until you are ready to enter the musallah.

SILENCE DURING JUMAH KHUTBAH.
As with most religious ceremonies talking during the Jumah prayer is not is not good etiquette  and we ask that you please refrain from talking during the Khutbah (Islamic adab) .

ALL VISITORS – MEN & WOMEN:
Clothing should be modest. Tops should have sleeves and no plunging necklines.  Mini-skirts or short pants (above the knees) are inappropriate.  An overgarment is available for use while in the Musallah.

WOMEN VISITORS:  It is customary for women to wear a head covering during the prayer.  A head scarf is available for use while in the Musallah.

PARENTS OF SMALL CHILDREN
Please DO NOT allow children to run and play and disrupt the prayer service.  If children become unruly, please take them to the lower level.  Speakers are on and the khutbah and prayer can be heard in its entirety.

NO FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED IN MUSALLAH.
