Visit a mosque to learn about Islam
Seek out new knowledge and insights with a discovery hunt, as you explore your local mosque.
Planning your visit
Get in touch with your local mosque to find out if you can arrange a visit on a suitable day or time. You could search online for mosque or ‘masjid’, which is the Arabic word for mosque. Many mosques hold open days or run tours for groups. You could get in touch with the Muslim Scout Fellowship (MSF) and see if there are any nearby Muslim Scout groups you could link up with. You can also find your nearest group on the MSF website.
Preparing for your visit
You should find out if there are any rules or guidelines the group will need to follow on the visit, such as dress code.
It’s usually encouraged for everyone to dress modestly, with clothes that cover the arms and legs, and are not tight fitting. Women and girls may also be asked to cover their heads.
Check if there are any guidelines people need to follow as they’re exploring. People will probably be asked to take off their shoes when entering the mosque or before entering the prayer area, and you’ll need to be quiet or silent if people are praying.
Check if people will be allowed to take photos in the mosque.
Make sure to ask if there are any prayer times or other activities that you’ll need to be aware of.
You might want to visit the mosque in advance to check any accessibility requirements, get to know the hosts and learn your way around, so you can best support the group and note any accessibility requirements.
Follow your hosts lead on how to greet each other when you meet. Remember, Muslims traditionally shake hands with the right hand and with the same gender only. If they’re greeting the opposite gender, they’ll probably opt for a friendly smile.
Planning and setting up this activity
Share your ideas for the discovery hunt or quiz sheet with your hosts and find out about the features of the mosque. They might have some great ideas, too. We’ve shared some ideas on this page, which you can adjust according to your local mosque and the needs of your group.
Bear in mind you will probably be guided around the mosque and may need to stay together as a whole group.
Work together to agree something that everyone is happy with. Ask if people will be able to take photos or if it’s OK for them to approach people to ask questions. If not, think about other ways people could get involved. Your discovery hunt could involve writing down and drawing things, or finding the answer to a question, rather than asking someone.
Prepare discovery hunt sheets or quiz sheets. You could divide everyone into groups and give them one each, or everyone could have one each.
FYI - you may be raped.
Oh yes, you must learn about Islam, it’s your new faith.

If you have to use the bathroom hold it they don’t use toilet paper ,LOL
Visit a mosque? Uh, no….
Its over for England now that the muslims are taking control of the children.
It’s usually encouraged for everyone to dress modestly, with clothes that cover the arms and legs, and are not tight fitting. Women and girls may also be asked to cover their heads.
They can follow those rules to a “tee”, and those at the mosque will look at them as infidels.
Loose-fitting clothes are good for concealing explosives.
Everything I needed to know about mohammad's little bandit war plan I learned watching girls being forced back into a flaming building because they were not "properly dressed" while else where adult males were walking their male child sex slaves on leashes.
And both were approved behaviors.
Piss be upon all of them.
I could swear this was the Babylon Bee, but even the most absurd satire can’t keep up with the reality of modern day Britainistan.
All I need to know about Islam I can discern when I am in public and see the women and girls with scarves around their heads and necks wearing heavy, oversized dresses or pantsuits while the men and boys wear crew neck tees and shorts on a 85 degree day with 80% humidity.
Exactly!
Apparently so.
Very.
Nope.
Not in a billion years.
