Islamic Center of Quebec - El Markaz Islami

Unfortunately we did not have a pleasant experience in this mosque. The mosque architecture is beautiful and the people that we met were nice. However, our interactions from the Imam have been distant and we felt an underlying judgement and negativity after we presented our case to him. He is understandably very busy leading a congregation but being inaccessible after numerous phone calls and messages borders on the unprofessional. His methodology is very traditional (which isn't necessarily always a bad thing) but he didn't give us an opportunity to learn and discuss which is something we look for in a religious leader. In any case, jazakom allah kolla kheir, but we will definitely be looking at another mosque is that is more welcoming to everyone, and where we can learn and grown in our iman.

The architectural of this Mosque is very nice but no body is maintaining it. You can find dirt every where they are asking money for renovations since long but didn’t do any thing, even they didn’t bother to just paint this mosque.

One of the most horrible experiences of my life was to bury my father via this centre in 2016. All they cared about was the payment for burial and made so many mistakes on all the paper work. I would not recommend this place to anyone living or dead.

First Mosque in Montreal. Serving Muslims in Quebec since 1958. Beautiful dome and minaret. The architecture is world class. The nikah was delivered in bilingual (french and English). The young Imam knows 5 languages (Arabic, Urdu, Bengali, French and English). Welcoming staff. Covid-19 guidelines followed. for Friday prayer, many volunteers helping out to efficiently coordinate. Donation receipt mailed on time. Construction is picking up.

It's an amazing mosque

Assalamulaikum, My mom's Janaza took place here yesterday and I am utterly disappointed by the way the keepers treated us. Not only were they rude but they treated us like we were animals. On arrival they were upset that we arrived 30 min early, and was vulgar in pointing it out. Everything was rushed. The mosque has no clear signs of entry for men and women yet when people walked in they literally yelled at them.. No formation or markers were placed for covid regulations yet they expected people to maintain a distance when this is an unrealistic expectation for a funeral gathering. When asked if they have a women's section to pray they said they didn't and did not direct me any where else. Moreover during my mom's Janazah prayer he recited Allahu Akbar 4 times and that's pretty much it.... everyone was lost and my mom's prayer was pretty much disregarded... May Allah keep her well. They then pushed us to scramble us out for the next funeral. I am gravely disappointed with the discrimination and the ill behavior. I had also pointed it out very gently that this was not the way to treat people, and to be more sensible. He in turn gave me attitude as if I was not cooperating and seemed like he was filled with anger.. yet all I was asking that he be kinder and treat everyone with respect just the way we were treating him especially inside of a mosque. The prayer area is also very ill maintained. If management is worried about covid I have not seen any hand sanitizer or markers on the floor for safe distancing. No measures were taken yet they did not hesitate to treat people so badly. May Allah guide us all and make use of constructive criticism. Our city relies on this mosque for when times are tough and when times are good. I make regular donations... especially because both my parents have now been rest to peace. But I was disheartened to come here and be treated so poorly. May Allah forgive us
