Daily Prayers:

 

At this masjid we hold five prayers daily. Imam Mohamed Baadany leads the five daily prayers each and every day. Iquama is a 10 minutes right after the Athan. Every body is encouraged to conduct their prayers in a the house of Allah where muslims from different backgrouds gather and stand on the front of Allah performing their daily prayers.
