All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) is one of the largest mosques in the United States, located in Sterling, VA and serving 5000 Muslim families. ADAMS offers a wide variety of services. Some are of religious nature such as Islamic and Arabic classes, while others are of communal nature such as Boy and Girl Scout activities.[2][3]
The current Executive Director (for 25 years as of 2022) is Imam Mohamed Magid, a leading figure in the American Muslim community.[2] Magid was criticized in 2024 for taking part in an iftar with Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who is known for blocking measures in the UN calling for a halt to attacks against the people of Gaza, Palestine.[4]
