Qutba starts at 1PM not Iqama as Imam gives a long lecture after which Iqama is delivered and then namaz (salah) begins they shouldnt mislead in this way. Kindly mention accurate Iqama times on your websites as I drove all the way from Fontana (my work) just to attend jumua. May Allah grant us ease and make us from those who make the use of our time on this earth in the best way (ameen).

Im not Muslim but I chose to participate in Ramadan this year for several reasons. My friend who is Muslim told me to find a mosque if I needed a Quran. This was the place I found and my short stint was met by a few young teen boys who were very sweet and respectful and assisted in providing me an Arabic version and English version. Eventually I would like to attend a prayer in the meantime thank you for being so kind and accepting❤️
