The Stevenage Muslim Community Centre is open every day for people to use our prayer facilities, this includes all five daily prayers, Taraweh prayers and Eid. The prayer hall is accessible from 9am, and closes an hour after the last prayer of the day, 'Isha. The prayer hall is also open for Fajr, the morning prayer.
We hold congregational prayers at specific times, which you can find in our prayer timetable. These prayers typically take 10-15 minutes. For Fajr, we open the main prayer hall half an hour before the time set for the congregational prayer, and close again about 15 minutes after the prayer finishes. Once the masjid opens at 9am, it is open for the remainder of the day - Please note: The masjid may be closed at certain times due to staff shortages. On Fridays, the special Jumuah prayer (which replaces the Zuhr prayer) is preceded by a sermon (khutbah), which takes about half an hour. Friday prayer timings are available to view on the timetable.
There are separate prayer facilities for men and women: men pray on the ground floor, and women on the first floor. For busy prayers, such as Jumuah, and Tarawih in Ramadan, we may open up the extension for overflow. We have complete ablutions facilities, (men's on the ground floors and women's on the second floor). There is wheelchair access throughout.
