Masjid Al Ansar

Very unwelcoming place. Any time I have visited the door was locked, and when I call the number provided by the door to open the masjid I never get an answer or response. Makes me wonder if they even pray the 5 prayers there making its status as a masjid invalid. More likely to be a private musala (place for prayer) not for the public. A masjid should be open to the Muslim community throughout the day to able to pray and worship not only during salah times or when it is convenient for the grounds keeper. Muslims please do not waste your time in making the trip if you are in the area as you will more than likely have to pray outside in the Florida heat or rain. All other masjid in the area are open to the public throughout the day.

ما شاء الله ما شاء الله ما شاء الله This masjid was nice and clean. I had the opportunity to meet the sister who owns the property, Sr. Summer very humble and welcoming person. If you ever visit Tampa this masjid is a must. The masjid is small but very well kept.

We love this masjid! Jumaa khutba starts 1:30 and the Jumaa prayer starts at around 2:00 and finishes 2:15. The Imam delivers reenergizing khutbas in both Arabic and English. The sister who takes care of the women’s section is very nice and makes sure the place is always clean and organized.

Beautiful and welcoming small Masjid. So peaceful and calm there. I wish I lived closer so I can go more often. I work near the airport, so I come here for Jumuah (1:30-2:05pm). Not sure if there is a full time Imam because most weeks there are different khateebs.

I went there for first time, I was shown where to go, instructed what to do and I don't know why the sister (probably owner of land) was super bossy. She kept talking loud voice to a guy about renting/buying houses. She didn't say "welcome" to me even if she anticipated it's my 1st time. Until 1:15 pm hardly anyone was around, so I am not sure about timing since Khutba should be 1:30 pm. I had a meeting 2:30 pm so I left. It's not even worth it. Very limied parking and space for women. The masjid is clean though and well taken care of.
