Sunatul Jamaat

This great bulk of a place has existed in our community for over 40 years. It is squat and plain and mighty. Sized like a warehouse, it can accommodate thousands of the faithful and has ample parking. What I love is how it sits on its own, using its lawns and parking lots as a moat. It stands out from its surroundings and strangely simultaneously blends in to the extent it’s barely noticed if riding or driving by.

The final photo looks away from the building at its back over the largest car park. It seems the Mosque may have an arrangement with its neighbours such that a visual block has been provided to shield worshippers from the ugly industrial mess just behind. At least that’s what it seems to me.

In any case, given the potential accommodation afforded and the sheer scale of the space it occupies, I trust this place provides respite and solace for many and offers an avenue to hope and peace.

Of course, they have a website, too: https://www.sunatuljamaat.com/
