Muslim Events in New Jersey
New Jersey has one of the highest concentrations of Muslims of any state in the country, with masjids minutes apart from Paterson to Edison. Ummah collects the Garden State's overflowing event calendars into one feed.
The NJ scene
Masjids Ten Minutes Apart, Calendars To Match
Muslim New Jersey is dense in a way few places are. South Paterson's Arab-American community is nationally famous, Jersey City around Journal Square mixes communities from every continent, Central Jersey's Edison-Piscataway-North Brunswick corridor is packed with South Asian families, and Newark carries generations of African-American Muslim history. Turkish, Egyptian, and Bosnian communities round out a state where you are never far from a Jumu'ah.
Rutgers adds a huge student dimension in Central Jersey, and the proximity to NYC means NJ communities draw speakers and events that smaller states never see.

South Paterson is one of the most vibrant Arab-American neighborhoods in the country, at its peak during Ramadan.
Jersey City
Journal Square and beyond: deeply multicultural communities a train ride from Manhattan.
