Daily Prayers
At the Islamic Society, these are held five times daily in the Small Prayer Room. TIMETABLE for daily PRAYERS for the whole year is available in the Islamic Society. It's important to note that times in the timetable indicates only the start or entrance of the time of prayers for any one in Colchester . In other words, time of prayers at the Islamic society is different then the time in the list. These times are updated after each Jumah prayer.

Please look out for posters confirming the days of Eid and when/where the prayer shall be held. There is provision for sisters.
