Muhsen
A Masjid Welcoming Everyone
The Muslim Community of Folsom strives to provide an inclusive environment for our community members with special needs and disabilities. There are several projects underway to make our masjid welcoming to everyone and we encourage your participation and feedback.
The building has a wheelchair-accessible prayer hall and bathrooms. Alhamdulillah, with the support of our dedicated volunteers, MCF is the first mosque in the greater Sacramento County that offers a parent support group and Sunday school for special needs children.
Please contact our Special Needs facilitators Br. Sarfaraz Syed or Sr. Farhanaaz Begum at muhsen@mcfolsom.com with any questions.
