A Mosque is a place of worship for Muslims. The English word “Mosque” is derived from its Arabic equivalent meaning a “place of prostration.” 

Mosques play a vital role in the community. The primary function of the Mosque is to provide a place where Muslims may perform Islam’s obligatory five daily prayers as a congregation. A Mosque also provides sufficient space in which to hold prayers on Fridays, the Muslim day of communal prayer. 

A Mosque is a place that is specifically dedicated as a place of prayer. However, there is nothing sacred about the building or the place itself. There is no equivalent of an altar in a Mosque. A Muslim may pray on any clean surface including public places.

Mosques welcome visitors. Tours can be arranged at most facilities. It is always best to call the Mosque administration before arrival. We will want to make sure your visit is enjoyable. If you would like to book a visit to the Windsor Mosque, please fill out the above form.

A  visit to the mosque consists of the following:

• A guided tour 
• Observation of one of the daily or special prayer services (depending on the time of visit)
• Free literature on Islam
• Q&A and discussion session

The prayer hall, in each Mosque, is oriented in the direction of Mecca, toward which Muslims face during prayers. In North America, Muslim worshippers face the northeast. Prayer halls are open and uncluttered to accommodate lines of worshippers who stand and bow in unison. 

Visitors are requested to:

• Respect the peace and prayer of worshipers inside the Mosque
• Remove their shoes in certain specific areas
• Keep food and drinks in designated eating areas
• Avoid bringing any animals into the mosque
• Keep the mosque’s building and courtyard clean by disposing of litter properly and safely
• Smoking is not permitted in the building and courtyard

All adult visitors and children above the age of 12 are requested to observe modest, conservative, loose-fitting clothing (long skirts or trousers & no shorts).

Most aspects of a standard dress code are quite appropriate as long as arms and legs are covered. Female visitors may cover their heads if they wish.
