Prayer Space

The Islamic Prayer Space (Musallah) is on the corner of Pelham and Leicester Street. The Musallah was reopened under COVIDSafe conditions on the 12 March 2021.

The entrance to the brothers and sister Prayer Space is via Little Pelham St. It is a 10 minute walk from the Parkville Campus Student Union building. To access the Musallah, staff and students will need to swipe their staff/student access cards at the door. All five of the daily prayers and the Taraweeh prayers during Ramadhan are conducted here.

If you had access to the Musallah before the pandemic you do not need to fill out a new form to attend the Prayer space from the 12 March 2021. For staff and students who did not have access previously please fill out the form and your card will be working shortly after being submitted, insha Allah.

Friday Prayers (Jummah Prayer)

Friday prayers are held weekly in the Islamic Prayer Space. Due to density limits the following people limits must be adhered to within the Prayer Space at any one time including on Fridays.

• 35 people within the brothers prayer space
• 15 people within the sisters prayer space

During semesters there are two sessions for Friday Prayers as follows:

• Normal Hours - 12:30-1pm and 1:30-2pm (approximately April - Oct)
