The Bottom Line
Salim bin Bakheet mosque is a well-maintained place for daily prayers, Juma’a and Eid prayer in Al Warqa. Its strongest draw is the combination of a spacious, immaculate prayer hall with substantial learning facilities: visitors mention an Islamic library beside the hall, a Holy Quran Recitation Centre, and Qur’an programmes for children and adults. The library is more than a passing mention.
One reviewer describes books on both sides of the main prayer hall, with comfortable couches nearby, while another calls it an impressive feature. Daily Islamic classes and a Qur’an programme for all ages and segments of society, including house maids, make this a useful stop for anyone interested in study as well as prayer. The setting is consistently described as peaceful, cool and calm, with the mosque in a quiet residential area and an outdoor sitting area in the yard.
Drivers should find parking around the mosque, and one review mentions covered parking. The ladies’ section has clean bathrooms, a wudu area and prayer spaces for women with and without children. One Ramadan visitor felt it leaned towards the local community rather than outsiders, but also said visitors were welcomed.
