Our Services

Prayer, teaching, and the care of the neighbourhood. Everything the mosque keeps open, with the hours for each.

Every day

Open from fajr to isha

  • Five daily prayers in congregation

    Around 150 worshippers pray with us each day. The prayer hall, the women's area, and the wudu facilities are open for every prayer.

  • Library

    Open to anyone who wants to read or study on the premises.

  • Talking to the imam

    Ali Sağ is available for guidance on personal, family, and religious matters. Come by the mosque, no appointment needed.

Every week

Friday prayer and classes

  • Jumu'ah

    The khutbah is delivered in Turkish and draws close to 1,000 worshippers. Baian.ai carries it live into Arabic, English, and a range of other languages, so you can follow it in your own language from the hall or from home.

  • Quran classes for children

    Reading, memorisation, and tajwid, taught in small groups.

  • Quran and tajweed for adults

    Recitation, tajweed, and memorisation for adults at any level, beginners included.

  • Ijaza in Quran recitation

    For students who want a certified chain of transmission for their recitation, we arrange a qualified sheikh to take them through to ijaza. Ask the imam or write to us and we will match you with one.

  • Lecture series

    Five ongoing series through the week, in Turkish and Arabic. Every session is streamed live across our social media channels with live translation through Baian.ai, and stays up afterwards in full.

Marriage, funerals, and reverting to Islam

  • Nikah

    Islamic marriage ceremonies conducted at the mosque.

  • Janazah
