The founding masjid of Piscataway. MCMC was established in 1990 by community members who once prayed Taraweeh in each other's basements — a testament to the power of grassroots faith. Today it serves the entire Middlesex County Muslim community with five daily prayers, a full weekend Islamic school (Darul Ihsaan, Pre-K to 12th), the Al Furqan Hifz program, counselling, Janazah services, Zakat distribution, free groceries for those in need, and an active youth program. MCMC holds Silver Certification from MUHSEN for serving community members with special needs. Expansion plans include a library, cafeteria, and funeral facility.

Tips for Visitors & New Residents
🕌
Prayer Time Apps
Use Muslim Pro, Athan, or IslamicFinder to get accurate daily prayer and iqama times for your exact location. Most masjids in Central NJ also post monthly schedules on their websites or WhatsApp groups.
🌙
Ramadan & Eid
During Ramadan, nearly every masjid extends its hours for Taraweeh, Qiyam, and Suhoor programs. MCMC, ISCJ, Al Falah, and Masjid Al-Wali are known for exceptional Ramadan atmospheres. Eid prayers are often held at larger venues — check early for locations.
🤲
Jumu'ah on Route 27 & Area
Parking fills up quickly for Friday Jumu'ah at popular masjids like MCMC and ISCJ. Arrive at least 20 minutes early, especially in Ramadan. Da'awatul Islamia in Somerset is a wonderful quieter option with ample parking in the rear.
