Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Masjid Al-Jamia is a Sunni mosque in West Philadelphia.  It was founded in 1988 by members of the Muslim Students Association at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn MSA).  Eight years later, the mosque became independent from the Penn MSA and, around 2009, acquired ownership of the building. Located at 4228 Walnut Street, in a historic building formerly occupied by the Commodore Theatre, the mosque currently serves a large and diverse Muslim population in the neighborhood.  The mosque's name itself signals its importance to the community, as the Arabic etymology suggests.  In Arabic, Masjid Al-Jamia means “the congregational mosque”, typically where Muslims meet for Friday prayers.
