Join one of the largest Friday congregations in West Yorkshire — a moment of unity, reflection, and worship.
Join UsJumu'ah — Friday Prayer — is one of the most important acts of worship in Islam, a weekly gathering that unites the community in reflection and remembrance of Allah. Leeds Grand Mosque hosts one of the largest Friday congregations in West Yorkshire, welcoming thousands of worshippers each week across multiple prayer times.
Two Khutbah times every Friday to serve our large congregation — find the time that suits you best.
The first Friday Jumu'ah Khutbah and prayer, delivered in Arabic and English. Doors open approximately 30 minutes before the Khutbah begins. Please arrive early to find your place and perform your Sunnah prayers.
The second Friday Jumu'ah Khutbah, running shortly after the first congregation to accommodate our large community. Identical in content and format to the first Khutbah. All are welcome to attend either session.
Everything you need to know before attending Friday Prayer at Leeds Grand Mosque.
We hold two Jumu'ah Khutbahs every Friday to accommodate our congregation. Times vary seasonally in line with Dhuhr prayer time. Please check our prayer times display at the top of this page or contact the mosque directly for the current Friday Khutbah schedule. We recommend arriving at least 15–20 minutes before the Khutbah begins to ensure a comfortable place in the prayer hall.
Parking in the immediate vicinity of Leeds Grand Mosque can be limited, particularly during busy Friday Prayer times. We encourage worshippers to use public transport where possible — the mosque is well served by Leeds city centre bus routes. Several pay-and-display car parks are available within a short walk. Please be considerate of local residents when parking and allow extra time on Fridays.
Attendees should dress modestly and appropriately for a place of worship. Men should ensure their arms and legs are covered; shorts and sleeveless tops are not appropriate. Women are requested to wear modest clothing with their hair covered. Please remove your shoes at the entrance to the mosque and bring a prayer mat if you have one, though mats are available at the mosque. Ensure you have performed Wudu (ablution) before attending if possible.
Non-Muslims are welcome to observe Friday Prayer at Leeds Grand Mosque if they are visiting for educational or interfaith purposes. Please speak to a member of staff or contact us in advance so we can ensure you are welcomed appropriately and seated in a suitable area. Non-Muslims do not participate in the prayer itself but are welcome to listen to the Khutbah. If you are curious about Islam, our New to Islam programme may also be of interest to you.
Come and be part of one of the most uplifting weekly gatherings in Leeds. All Muslims are welcome — bring your family and your friends.
