Established in 1964, the London Muslim Mosque serves the growing and multi-cultural Muslim community in London, Ontario Canada. The Mosque and it's administrators have come a long way from the days when five or less would attend Juma prayers, doors were locked during weekdays and the offical day of gathering was Sunday. Today London Muslim Mosque is a busy place, with five daily prayers, Juma prayers exceeding the capacity of the building and a wide variety of activities that server the Muslim and non-Muslim community alike.

I feel really happy from the first visit .. May Allah bless you
Mashallah.
I do miss the 'old days' when the Muslim community met under the same roof to worshiip. It is sad that the community has fragmented into separate Jamaas (congregations) as it has. Anyway, I miss the old days when Ahmad (Al) Seede lead prayers on Fridays. I must say that I do like what is going on now. Lebanese pastries after Juma prayer, active youth groups, mosque open most of the day. Sucessive boards of directors have taken the 'good old mosque' and made it even better. Well done.
Yes, the mosque has really changed over the years. Years ago I had to convince a member of board of directors to give me a key to the mosque in order to do my prayers, as no one was around during the day to open the door. Today the mosque can be accessed from Fajr to Isha for salat and other activities. I feel more welcome to day than back in the early 80's as the concregation is more multi cultural - Lebanese, Somali and Indo-Pak and a sprinkling of 'converts'. Keep up the good work.
