Congregational Prayers
We hold congregational prayers at specific times, which you can find in our prayer timetable. There’s a more detailed explanation of our prayer times . These prayers typically take 10–15 minutes.
For Fajr, we open the main prayer half an hour before the time set for the congregational prayer, and close again about 15 minutes after the prayer finishes.
Once the halls open at 11am, they are available for the rest of the day.
On Fridays, the special Jumuah prayer (replacing the Zuhr prayer) is preceded by a sermon (khutbah), which takes about half an hour. From late March to late October (in the days of British Summer Time) the sermon starts at about 1:30 pm; for the rest of the year it is about 12:30pm.
