A Mosque Rooted in Faith, Community, and Service
The Mosque of Aylmer is a spiritual home and community hub dedicated to nurturing Islamic values, strengthening families, and fostering unity across the Aylmer region.
Our Mosque Facility
he Muslim Community in Aylmer is one of the fastest growing communities in the capital region. It has grown from a handful of families in the late nineties to more than 300 Muslim families in 2010. The setup of a Mosque in Aylmer has become a necessity. Starting with a Mussalla (temporary prayer house) in the early 2000s, then a small Mosque in 2007, the Mosque of Aylmer finally moved, in 2010, to a location large enough to accomodate the mosque’s activities. Today, the Mosque of Aylmer serves religious needs of Muslims in Aylmer including five daily prayers, Friday prayers (Jumaa), Halaqhas, and other religious activities listed below.
Facility
The Mosque of Aylmer is established in a two story building located in 21 Park Street, Aylmer, Quebec, J9H 4J6. Below is a short description of the Mosque’s building:

Activities
The Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Upon Him) said in a Hadith narrated by Abu Hurayra: “Each Mosque has pillars. When they sit in the Mosque, the angels sit with them. If they leave the Mosque, the angles miss them. If they get sick, the angels visit them. If they get busy, the angels help them. Sitting in the Mosque has three benefits: gaining a good friendship/brotherhood, learning a word of wisdom, and enjoying awaited mercy”.
Pillars are the most critical parts of any structure. Without them,the structure cannot stand. According to the Hadith mentioned above, the pillars of the Mosque are people who frequent and sit in the Mosque praying, reading Quran, and participating in Halaqhas (congregations) of Dikr (Remeberance of ALLAH). In the Mosque of Aylmer, our mandate is to establish and maintain the activities that keep the Mosque alive. Such activities include:
