Current Project | Jami Omar Mosque

Our Vision

Our vision is to build an integrated centre that will not only offer an aesthetically pleasing Prayer Facility but also provide the space for the physical, social and intellectual needs of our youth, adults and elderly.

The idea was to make our Masjid an attractive place where our youth would be happy to come to - first and foremost for Salaah, then study and then play and socialize in an acceptable Islamic Atmosphere.

We wish to welcome all the Islamic organizations in Ottawa to come to Jami Omar and use our Facilities.

The Masjid will include a Men's Prayer Hall on the first Floor, a Ladies Prayer Hall with it's own entrance and Wudhu area on the second floor, Musalli-friendly amenities for social get-togethers and for Itekaaf.

It is propose that the current Madrasa will be expanded and gradually phased into offering Islamic and secular education. The school will comprise of 12 classrooms and will offer education from Junior to gradually Aalim and Grade 12 levels. The curriculum will be certified by authentic Darul Ulooms and Provincial Education Authorities.

The Community Centre has been designed to offer space for a full Size Gymnasium, two kitchens, meeting/counseling rooms, exercise room and other indoor sports (e.g. table-tennis).
