Tarawih Etiquette: For those leaving before 20 raka of Tarawih are complete, please keep the noise down and do not engage in conversation in the prayer halls or just outside the doors to the prayer halls as the noise is disturbing to those who are continuing to pray. Out of respect for the Masjid Neighbors, please do not gather outside the Masjid after Tarawih Prayers as the noise is disturbing to our neighbors.

Children and Tarawih Prayers: We request that children younger than 10 years of age, NOT be brought for Tarawih Prayer. Your children should remain at your side during the prayer. Children found wandering inside or outside the masjid will be returned to their parents by our patrolling security person.

Parking: “We are requesting all the community members to park the vehicle appropriately on IAOS parking lots or on the street. IAOS is not responsible for any ticket issued for inappropriate or illegal parking.”
