Why visit
Masjid Al-Ansar operates at 161-34 Foch Boulevard in the Rochdale section of Queens. The incorporated mosque works with other New York Muslim organizations while maintaining a neighbourhood congregation whose members cross varied geographic and cultural backgrounds.
What to expect
Five daily prayers and Friday prayer anchor its schedule, and the site posts separate adhan and iqamah times. Saturday madrasah combines Qur’anic recitation and memorization with reading, writing and Islamic studies, while youth programmes and a sisters’ halaqah create distinct learning spaces.
Visitor guidance
The centre lists medical, financial-aid and social services alongside nikah, funeral, newcomer and special-needs support. Its official website contains dated 2026 events, named teachers, current prayer times and the active Foch Boulevard address, demonstrating a much fuller religious and social institution than the imported generic description of a friendly local neighbourhood mosque.
