We ask that you remove your shoes before entering the prayer area at a mosque, so that the floors and carpets aren’t covered with dirt–after all, that is where people pray. As you observe the physical nature of the Islamic prayer, this will make sense. You’ll be able to wear your shoes when walking through the other areas of the mosque. We can accommodate those who need to wear shoes due to medical needs with shoe coverings.
We rely on our generous community to create a lasting impact and ensure the continuous operations of your Masjid as the gathering place, school, and house of worship for Muslims across the Triangle.
Those who spend their wealth in charity day and night, secretly and openly—their reward is with their Lord, and there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.”
– The Holy Quran 2:274
