We maintain an annual prayer calendar with set Jamaat times. The prayer space is available to men and women. We always encourage everyone in the community to attend as many prayers in the congregation as they can.

Friday Prayers (Jumuah)

Every Friday we hold a Jumuah khutbah at MCWAS at 1.15pm in the winter months and 1.30pm in the summer. We deliver our khutbahs in English to ensure the congregation receive a coherent reminder and also invite special guest khateebs from other Islamic institutes every month.
