Who We Are

Our Vision is to maintain Masjid Ar-Rahman as a grassroots facility that serves the Muslim community while promoting connectivity with the New York Muslim community.  We strive to be:

• An upright place that promotes the values of moderation, kindness, charity, forgiveness, patience, perseverance and neighborliness, in the spirit of Islamic teachings.
• A welcoming place for people of all backgrounds seeking an understanding of Islam and Muslims.
• A family-friendly facility where people young and old, men, women and children are treated with respect and equality.
• A peaceful sanctuary where people can come worship and congregate in tranquility.
• An egalitarian place where attitudes of racism and sexism are NOT tolerated. Discussions expressing ideas or attitudes that support racism, misogyny, terrorism, extremism or any form of hate speech either oral, written or in multimedia format are not allowed in this masjid. Politically charged events and discussions are not permitted either.
• A community-oriented place that brings together groups of worshippers who will be gracious and helpful neighbors to the surrounding local community and support an atmosphere of peace, tolerance and cross-community sharing.
• An interfaith space that provides a venue for faith communities to interact in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
• An informative place where access to other community services can be acquired.
• A green space where environmentalism is promoted and practiced.
• A place where humanitarian and charitable causes are supported.
