What to expect on your first visit

For a first visit, come for one prayer or a scheduled class, arrive a little early, and ask a responsible brother or sister where to sit and what to do. You do not need to know Arabic or know how to pray before visiting.

Good first times to visit

  • Friday Jumu'ah
  • A published weekly class
  • A weekday prayer if you prefer a quieter first visit

Before you go

  • Dress modestly and comfortably
  • Arrive a little early for your first visit
  • You do not need to know Arabic
  • You do not need to know how to pray yet
  • Bring nothing but yourself

Optional

Would you like us to introduce you?

Brixton Mosque & Islamic Cultural Centrecan welcome a first-time visitor. If you'd rather not walk in cold, we can pass a gentle introduction so someone is expecting you. Entirely optional — you can also just turn up for a prayer.
