What is the address of the masjid?
How do I get to the masjid?
From AUC, drive on the main road past Maho, past the Airport, past Simpson Bay, cross the bridge, make a right turn onto the read leading to Philipsburg that goes over the big hill. Once you have reached the top of the hill, there is a roundabout. The choices here are to either turn right or turn left. Turn right. This road will descend the hill. At the bottom of the hill, there is another roundabout. The choices here are to either turn right or turn left. Turn left. Once you have passed the hospital on your left (St. Maarten Medical Center), you will approach an intersection with Puma Road. Turn left. Follow Puma Road until the masjid appears on your right.
How long does that take?
20 minutes.
When does the masjid have Juma prayers?
The khutba begins at 12:30 PM, and lasts for one hour.

زكاة الفطر
$10 per person paid to the masjid before the Salat-al-Eid.
Qurbani
In years past, live lambs were brought into the masjid grounds on the day of the Eid-al-Adha for the specific purpose of qurbani. In 2006, this did not occur. Perhaps next year, inshallah.
How can I help the masjid?
Due to high demand from island residents wishing to learn Islam, the masjid has a shortage of Qur'an translations, booklets, pamphlets, etc. (particularly materials written in the Spanish language; there is a large Spanish-speaking population on St. Maarten) You can help the masjid by bringing with you any of the aforementioned materials and donating them to the masjid.
