Mosques in Doha

Doha has many mosques offering daily prayers and Friday Jumu'ah, including the Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque (Qatar State Grand Mosque), Education City Mosque, Katara Mosque, and Fanar (Qatar Islamic Cultural Center).

Every masjid in Doha holds the five daily prayers, led by an imam, with the adhan called from the minaret and the congregation gathering for iqamah shortly after. On Fridays, Dhuhr is replaced by Jumu'ah: a khutbah (sermon) followed by a shortened two-rak'ah congregational prayer. Qatar has hundreds of neighborhood mosques alongside the landmark mosques listed below.

One schedule, every mosque: the five daily prayer times are the same across Doha (see today's prayer times). Only each mosque's iqamah delay and Jumu'ah khutbah start differ slightly.

Finding a Mosque Near You in Doha

Doha's neighborhood mosques hold the same five daily prayers as this site's Doha prayer times, calculated with the Qatar method (Umm al-Qura based, Aladhan method 10). If you are searching for "masjid near me" or "mosques near me" in Doha, the nearest neighborhood mosque will follow this same daily schedule, with iqamah typically 10 to 25 minutes after each adhan.

For Jumu'ah (Friday prayer), Dhuhr time marks the reference point, but each mosque sets its own khutbah start, generally 15 to 20 minutes before the congregational prayer. See the Azan times page for today's adhan schedule and the Qibla Finder for the prayer direction from any location in Doha.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) at Education City Mosque follows the citywide Dhuhr time, with the khutbah (sermon) typically starting 15 to 20 minutes before the prayer, around 11:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Exact khutbah start times can vary by a few minutes, so confirm with the mosque directly before visiting.

The Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque, Qatar's State Grand Mosque in Doha, is the country's largest, with a capacity reported at around 30,000 worshippers. It hosts the national Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha prayers each year.

Most Doha mosques welcome worshippers for daily prayers, and several, including Fanar and Katara Mosque, run structured visitor programs for non-Muslims. Modest dress is expected at every mosque, and visiting outside prayer times is usually easiest. Check each mosque's own visiting hours before arriving.
