Prayer Times
Welcome to
Belfast Islamic Centre
Muslims have been living in Britain and Ireland since Elizabethan times. There have been Muslims in Northern Ireland for well over a hundred years, the first reported purpose-built place of prayer being the ‘Cockle House’ (facing Makkah) in Crumlin, reportedly built for a Muslim servant of the local landlord at the time.
Belfast Islamic Centre was established in 1978 by a group of Muslims from the local community to provide a focus for all Muslims living in Northern Ireland. The centre operates for the benefit of all Muslims irrespective of their ethnic background, gender, country of origin or age. At present those who use the centre represent 42 nationalities.

“Whoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, like a sparrow’s nest for Allah or even smaller, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise”. [Muslim]
Alhamdulillah refurbishment work of Phase 1 commenced in August 2022 and the building was ready for use from January 2024. Please continue to donate generously so there are no further delays to Phase 2 which includes the main sisters’ prayer room and wudoo facilities on the ground floor. Also encourage your friends and family to take part in this sadaqah jariya.
