Currently, we pray congregational Noon prayers (Dhuhur) at 1:00 pm and afternoon prayer (Asr) at 5:00pm every weekday. We gather few minutes before these times outside Vanderbilt Hall, and enter all at once to minimize the burden on the security personnel so that they would open for us the door only once each prayer time. We cannot enter the basement of the Vanderbilt Hall unless the security gaurd opens the door for us. If you come at any other times and the security gaurd does not know you as one of the Muslims who pray, tell him/her you are a Muslim who's name is on the list of people who can access the prayer room. He may need your ID to check your name with the list, and then lets you in. If there are any problems or issues arising, please do not argue with any of the security or adminstration and turn back if you are not given access. Email Anzir, or Wael Al-Delaimy expalining the problem and Insha'allah it can be solved, and every misunderstanding worked out.
