Muslim Community of Edmonton Mosque - Edmonton, Alberta - Mosques on Waymarking.com

The Muslim Community of Edmonton (MCE) Mosque evolved from the Muslim Students' Association (MSA) of the University of Alberta, in the mid-to-late 1980s. Around 60 university students used to pray at the University as the Al Rashid mosque was quite far. They had numerous problems in booking rooms which they had to pay for. As such, functions were limited to Fridays. A group of students met and decided they needed a da'wah (outreach) centre near the university that would cater to the university and downtown community.

Building of the mosque commenced in 1989, and was completed in 1991. On February 29, 1992 the MCE Mosque was officially opened for prayers, and since then the five daily prayers have been held regularly along with the weekly Jumu'ah prayer. The MCE also holds Taraweeh & Tahajjud prayers during Ramadan.
