WLIC is open every day of the year for people to use its exceptional prayer facilities, including all five daily prayers, and the special periods of Ramadan and Eid. The prayer halls are accessible to men and women from 10am, and close 30 minutes after the last prayer of the day, Isha. All are welcome to visit, please remember you are in a place of worship, adhere to the etiquettes of the Mosque and keep it clean and tidy.

Congregational prayers

We hold congregational prayers at specific times, which you can find in our prayer timetable. These prayers typically take 10 or 15 minutes.

For the morning Fajr prayer, we open the main prayer hall half an hour before the time set for the congregational prayer, and close again about 30 minutes after the prayer finishes. Once the halls open at 10am, they are available for the rest of the day.

On Fridays, the special Jumuah prayer (replacing the Duhr 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 first sermon starts at approximately 1pm, for the remainder of the year it’s 12pm.
