SAYREVILLE — A Middlesex County mosque must stay closed for the upcoming observation of Ramadan because it owes over $600,000 in fines for code violations. Nearly a dozen speakers came forward at a recent Sayreville Borough council meeting calling on the local body to reopen Masjid Sadar for the upcoming holiday. Ramadan begins March 22 and lasts through April 21. The mosque on Ernston Road, which also acts as a community center, opened in 2021. Advocates for the mosque's reopening said at the meeting that the space is needed for Muslims to prepare to observe the holiday.
