A mosque is a place of worship for Muslims. It serves as a community center where people gather for prayers, educational activities, and social services. In Surrey, there are several mosques, each with its unique architecture and community, reflecting the diverse Muslim population in the area.

Mosques are integral to Islamic culture and communities around the world. They serve a variety of purposes, central to both religious and social aspects of Muslim life. Below are the primary roles and functions of a mosque.
The Adhan is the call to prayer, recited by a Mu-adhin (caller to prayer) from the minaret, inviting Muslims to prayer.
It’s a live recitation, not a recording, and is a symbol of the call to prayer.
The Qibla is the direction of Mecca, towards which Muslims face when they pray.
The mihrab is a niche in the wall indicating the Qibla.
Wudu is the ritual washing Muslims perform before prayer, involving washing the hands, feet, face, and arms.
It’s a symbol of cleanliness and purity before approaching Allah swt (God) in prayer.
Mosques play a vital role in the lives of Muslims. 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, and on the two Muslim holidays, called Eids, or “festivals.”
Proper dress is important. Women should cover their hair and not expose their arms or legs. Mosques that welcome non-Muslim visitors will often have ankle-length outer coverings on a rack near the main entrance for borrowing for use before entering the mosque. Shoes, of course, are removed before entering.
Entering the Mosque: It is customary to enter the mosque with your right foot first while saying the supplication, “Bismillah, was-salatu was-salamu ‘ala Rasoolillah” (In the name of Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah).
