The Masjid

In order to fulfil the Vision, the Trust proposes to construct a multi-dimensional building at the site situated in Mt Roskill. Masjids generally, in recent times, have confined their function to the provision of congregational ritual worship and periodical religious programs. Educational facilities are ancillary and seldom follow a structured path.

The Trust recognises the need to revive the true function of the Masjid, namely as a vibrant pivotal point for the community in all aspects of their lives, individually and collectively. Historically, it was only when the Masjid performed this vital function, that every element in society felt they were able to reach to it in the event of their difficulties and personal development.

The Al Hijaz Masjid looks forward to providing

• A structured program of Jumma lectures in the English language, the annual topics of which will be announced in advance and which will be available to view online.

• 5 times prayers, 7 days a week

• Weekly gatherings of congregational Zikr Shareef on Thursday evenings (Katme-Khwaajgaan)

• Organise annual, or where relevant monthly, lectures on the occasion of:

• The celebration of the Birthday of the Holy Prophet (Upon Whom be Peace)

• The celebration of the Me’raaj (Blessed Ascension ) of the Holy Prophet (Upon Whom be Peace)

• The celebration of the Birthday/Day of Demise the Awliya - Urs

• The celebration of the Birthday of the Holy Prophet (Upon Whom be Peace)

• The Martydom of the Noble grandson of the Holy Prophet (Upon Whom be Peace), Hazrat Imam Hussain (R.A)
