CHELMSFORD On a chilly Friday evening, worshippers arrived at the Islamic Society of Greater Lowell in Chelmsford.
In the main hall, with light blue, wall-to-wall carpeting, congregation members greeted each other and spread prayer rugs on the floor.
An imam gave the call to prayer in Arabic, which begins, God is most great.I testify there is no god, but God. I testify that Mohammed is the prophet of God.
The gathering on April 23 included traditional Friday prayers, and special prayers for the month of Ramadan.
Images on easels in the lobby illustrate plans, including spaces for functions, cultural and educational events, workout facilities, and more.
