What other Muslim communities exist in the DMV area?
There are plenty of masjids and Muslim social circle spaces, some of which are closer than others. The image shown here is the Islamic Society of Baltimore, which is about a 30 minute drive from downtown Baltimore city. You can subscribe to the ISB’s newsletter to stay up-to-date with events; generally, there is frequent and diverse programming that takes place, and a program called Revive that takes place weekly on Thursday evenings.
Some other masjids that require a bit of a commute but have socially enriching events, particularly for young professionals include: the Dar Al Taqwa Mosque, Muslim Family Center, Prince George’s Muslim Association, Diyanet Center of America, the Islamic Center of Maryland, Islamic Community Center of Potomac, Center DC and MakeSpace amongst many others. Though these may require a bit of a drive, it is a great way to meet Muslims.
