Mosque Maryam

Story

Mosque Maryam in Chicago, Illinois, United States, is the headquarters of the Nation of Islam. It is at 7351 South Stony Island Avenue in the South Shore neighborhood. Louis Farrakhan's headquarters are in the premises. The building was originally the Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church before it relocated to suburban Palos Hills. Elijah Muhammad purchased the building in 1972 and the mosque was then repurchased by Louis Farrakhan 16 years later, in 1988. It was named after Mary, the mother of Jesus . Farrakhan said former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had also lent Elijah Muhammad, his predecessor as head of the Nation of Islam, $3 million to convert a Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago into the Mosque Maryam.DesignThe main prayer hall is unusual for mosque, since it was originally the church's nave that contained pews later replaced with seats, where mosques usually have only an open floor space to spread prayer rugs on which to kneel.The distinctive architectural design of Mosque Maryam further identified the spiritual significance of this house. There are in the dome, placed in four directions, the Arabic phrase whose standard interpretation in English is "There is no god but God." In the centre of the dome is written "God is the greatest." Surrounding the dome in Arabic text is the 24th Sura (chapter), verses 35-40 of the Qur'an titled Al-Nur (The Light).

I went to food pantry.. held last Wednesday of the month...they need more customers to pick up boxes of vegetables like cauliflower, lettuce, potatoes,and pineapples....check them out!..very respectful and helpful
Mosque Maryam, uplifted my spirit the member hospitality was very warming I felt a sincere sense of feeling like I was home returning to the mother land. The sister and brothers energy were the greatest. Allah is nur is shine on Mosque Maryam peace.
Brothers and sisters stay away!!! This is a place of kufar they are not Muslims! They do not practice Islam, the Quran, or the sunnah or any of its teachings.
EVERY SUNNI MUSLIM STAY AWAY! They are Nation of Islam. They are far from Islam, their founders are not Muslim. They claimed divinity, Prophet hood… just stay away.
The Best place to learn about everything, ESPECIALLY our relationship to The Creator, His Creation, & His Plan.
Al Hamdulillah....this Spiritual House is dedicated to The Mother of Jesus to remind us that Woman is our first and foremost Teacher!!! Every time Allah Blesses me to step into The Sacred Space it is such an Awesome Experience Be it Jumah Prayer on Friday, Self Improvement Study Group on Friday nights, Wednesday night lectures or Sundays meeting I always leave Better than when I arrived!!!
It’s my second home away from home and looking forward to visiting again God Williing..
Muslims be ALERT! This is NOT a mosque!Nation of islam has nothing to do with Islam or it’s teachings and practice.
Wonderful spiritual house with loving and God fearing people.
