Announcement: The Masjid has moved to the 8th floor
Due to the renovation and remodeling of the 2nd floor, the MSA masjid is now located on the 8th floor of the Mundelein Center. We will be using this space until renovation of the lower floors of Mundelein are complete. The 8th floor is being shared with other ministry organizations. Please be respectable and behave in ideal Muslim manner around the masjid hallway. Do not loiter and please speak softly in the hallway. The shoe racks are still with us so make sure to utilize them. If you find any shoes lying around, please be kind enough to pick them up and place them on the racks. InshaAllah, we must all work together to keep our masjid environment clean.
