Al-Hamdulilah Rabbil Alameen • Praise be TO ALLAH
- The Philadelphia Masjid New logo was created to emulate the two ceiling medallion motifs found on the Mussallá ceiling. These medallions were installed when the original building was designed and constructed in 1936.
- The Medallions speak to the principals of balance and symmetry found in Islamic Art.
- Today, we thank Allah (swt) for our new and improved space. There is more to come, keep checking back, insha'Allah!
