Brussels Grand Mosque & Islamic Cultural Centre of Belgium

Amazing place. Lovely and peaceful. Would definitely recommend visiting this mosque when in Brussels. It's situated in a very convenient location with good transport links too. Lots of scooters and bikes in the area which is what we used.

A beautiful mosque located in one of the most scenic parts of Brussels. I read Jummah salah here and found the mosque to be adequate in terms of ablution and prayer facilities. There is also space for women to pray.

My only wish is that the mosque would provide some sort of timetable or website to guide tourists.

Good mosque at the edge of the park with classic building. However, it was an unpleasent experience for me and my family.

So it was 15:00, and we came to pray Zuhr & Asr in combination as we are travelling. Our kids slept in the car, so me and my wife has to take turn to pray in the mosque, while waiting with our kids in the car. I went first, and when I entered the mosque, they are few mens talking among themselves. I asked them where is the prayer room, and they showed me the way. So they knew I am entering the mosque and praying. When I finished, the door was locked and I cannot go out. I went to other door, and all the doors were locked. Then, I found a women and he opened a door for me to go out. I asked her to open the door for my wife to pray, but she refused. I asked why, she said something in Arabic that I could not understand.

In the end, I managed to pray but my wife could not. We have to spend another 1 hour going through the city to find other mosque for my wife to pray. Most of the mosque we found is locked, and 1 Turkish mosque is open.

What I dont understand is; those men knew I am inside the mosque and praying, but they still locked the door not allowing me to go out. And if the mosque is not locked, my wife can pray here and we will not waste another 1 hour to go here and there finding other mosque.

I dont understand the reason behind locking the mosque. The mosque should function as a prayer place for everyone, at all time. Sometimes, those who travelling could not come to pray at Azan time, but Allah gave a range of time on when we can perform Salah, not just whenever the Imam is praying at the mosque. And in addition, this is the grand mosque of Brussels, not just some small mosque so it should be open to all visitors!

One of the largest masjids I have been to and had a serene experience. Although, every mosque brings tranquility. Can accomodate for ladies and gents, ofcourse seperate section to enter and exit. Different cultures and ethnicity can be observed praying salah shoulder to shoulder. Can only be self experienced.

Very centrally located and looks big from outside. Unfortunately could not go in as it was closed, just opened at prayer times. Not useful for tourists, we traveled from centraal to offer prayers. There are taps outisde the mosque so we made our wuzu there and prayed in the lawn outside.

mA great masjid in Brussels! Loved praying here and it’s in an amazing park you can go explore after

Grande Mosquée de Bruxelles 🕌
The mosque is located in a very strategic area, easily accessible. Very spacious with a lot of equipments.
Unfortunately it needs a lot of maintenance work from the outside, but the praying area in the first floor is well maintained and clean ✅
