5 Best Mosques in New York (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 7 min read

Finding a mosque in a new part of New York usually comes down to a few practical questions: is it open at prayer time, is there a clean women's section, and does Jumu'ah get crowded. The mosques on this page have logged over 3,100 Google reviews between them, and each one sits at 4.7 stars or higher, so this page focuses on what makes each community different rather than ranking devotion, which no one can measure.

Short answer: Masjid Manhattan in the Financial District holds the highest combination of rating and review volume, at 4.8 stars across 749 reviews, and reviewers describe it as spacious with a dedicated women's prayer area across four floors. Masjid Ar-Rahman is the most-reviewed mosque on this list at 855 reviews, and Uthman Bin Affan Mosque in Midtown has the highest individual rating at 4.9. Each mosque sets its own prayer schedule, so confirm Jumu'ah times directly before visiting.

How we compare these listings

Every number here comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is each mosque’s live Google star average. Review volume measures how many people have left a review, ranked against other New York mosques. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from hundreds of reviewers carries more weight than a rating from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still reviewing. No listing can pay to change these numbers, and this page does not rank mosques on faith, doctrine or the quality of worship, only on the practical, publicly available information above.

Is there a cost to pray at these mosques?

None of the mosques on this page charge for daily prayers or Jumu’ah attendance. Several rely on member donations and fundraising for operations and building projects, and some mentioned in their own materials that support is welcomed but never required to attend.

Mosques across New York City

These mosques are spread across the Financial District, Midtown Manhattan, and Bedford-Stuyvesant and Greenpoint in Brooklyn, giving coverage across several boroughs. Searching for a mosque near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can confirm current prayer times before you go.

What to check before visiting a mosque

What are the current Jumu’ah (Friday prayer) times, since posted schedules can shift?
Is there a dedicated women’s prayer area and wudu space, and which entrance to use?
Is parking available nearby, or is it easier to reach by transit?
Are there specific dress or conduct expectations for visitors?
Does the mosque offer classes, lectures or community events beyond daily prayer?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these mosques?

We started from mosques in New York with a public Google presence, then compared them by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we compare these listings above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. This comparison comes from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another listing’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Are these mosques open to visitors, not just members?

Reviewers on this page describe visiting several of these mosques without being members, including for prayer and, at Masjid Manhattan and others, general visits. It’s respectful to check current visiting norms and dress expectations with each mosque directly.

Do these mosques have separate prayer areas for women?

Reviewers describe dedicated women’s prayer areas at Masjid Manhattan, Uthman Bin Affan Mosque and others on this list, though access and entrance details vary. Confirm directly with the mosque before visiting.

The bottom line

Masjid Manhattan and Uthman Bin Affan Mosque stand out for the combination of strong ratings and consistently positive facility reviews, including women’s prayer spaces. Whichever mosque you plan to visit, confirm current prayer times directly, since several reviewers noted posted schedules had changed.
