Dress Code

We kindly request that all visitors dress modestly and respectfully, in keeping with the sacred nature of the mosque. Please avoid overly revealing, tight-fitting clothing, or clothing that distracts from the peaceful and reverent atmosphere. Examples for men include shorts, tank tops, and revealing clothing, while examples for women include revealing clothing, tight-fitting clothing, see-through clothing, low-cut tops, and mini skirts, among others.
While a headscarf is not required for women visitors, you may choose to wear one as a sign of respect for the place of worship and its worshippers.

Conduct

During the service, we kindly request your silence and refrain from using cell phones. Visitors may not enter men’s or women’s prayer areas or participate in the congregational prayers without permission of the officials of ISCS.

Handshake

As a cultural practice, both men and women often do not shake hands with each other. Neither men nor women should be offended if the other gender does not extend their hands. This is out of respect for cultural norms and personal preferences.

Information about Islam

Visitors seeking further information about Islam are encouraged to inquire with the coordinator of their visit or volunteer at the front desk. A knowledgeable member of our community can be arranged to speak with you before or after the service.

Literature, pamphlets, and business

The distribution of literature or pamphlets and the conduct of business on the premises are not permitted. A prior approval is required from ISCS officials.

Proselytizing

Some of the more knowledgeable members of the congregation will be glad to address questions of theology, but haranguing other members of the congregation will result in immediate expulsion, as will seeking their personal contact information.

Media

All visitors, including TV, radio, and newspaper reporters and photographers, must obtain prior approval from the officials of ISCS to interview, photograph, or record individuals or the mosque.

The Islamic Society of Colorado Springs is dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive space for all. We reserve the right to refuse admission or removal to individuals who disrupt the peaceful atmosphere, pose a safety risk, or violate our mosque’s guidelines. Also please note that due to limited capacity, we may need to restrict entry at certain times.
