Why Finding a Mosque Matters
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Prayer in congregation is twenty-seven times more rewarding than praying alone." (Bukhari & Muslim). The mosque (Masjid) is the heart of the Muslim community — a place for worship, learning, brotherhood, support, and spiritual growth.
Whether you are at home, travelling, or new to a city, finding a mosque helps you:
- Establish your five daily prayers in congregation
- Attend Jumu'ah (Friday prayer)
- Connect with fellow Muslims
- Access Islamic classes, lectures, and community support

Before Entering

- Turn your phone to silent
Inside the Mosque
- Greet others with "Assalamu Alaikum"
- Pray 2 rak'ahs Tahiyyat al-Masjid (greeting the mosque) if not in congregation
- Men and women usually pray in separate areas
- Avoid walking in front of someone who is praying

- Keep it clean and tidy
- Do not eat strong-smelling food before coming
- Respect the Imam and congregation
- Contribute to the mosque if you are able
