As one of the fiver pillars of Islam, Salah (the prayer) is at the forefront of the Harrogate Islamic Association community.
Congregational Prayers
It is narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said “Prayers said in congregation is twenty-seven degrees more excellent than prayers said by a single person.” (Al-Bukhari, 645).
We are to pray salah congregation when we meet weekly for Jumua’h and daily for Maghrib. Anyone is welcome to join us for these times of communal worship.
Salatul Maghrib – daily, according to prayer times found on our website.
Salatul Jumu’ah (Friday prayers) – every week at 1:05pm. The Jumu’ah prayer follows the khutbah: a short sermon or reminder delivered on the best day of the week.
When our Mosque is finished InshAllah, Harrogate Islamic Association will hold the five daily prayers in congregation at the Belford Road site. We will always keep the website and our social media channels updated with the prayer times and when we hold the Jammat.
“O believers! Seek comfort in patience and prayer.” (2:153)
Salah, meaning ‘prayer’ or ‘supplication’ is one of the five (5) pillars of Islam, which forms the core beliefs and practices of the religion.
Salah is our connection with our creator. It is a chance to stand in front of God seeking comfort in Him and expressing gratitude towards Him for all He has provided us with. When someone is a Muslim, salah is the most important obligation for them to fulfil.
These prayers must be completed as prescribed for us and taught by Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This includes the words we must say and the actions we must perform in order for our prayer to be complete.
The five pillars are:
