Lord Sheikh (Chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum) has arranged for Friday Jummah prayers to be said in the House of Lords. The prayers are said on a weekly basis during the time Parliament is sitting and are held in Committee Room G. The prayers are led by several different Imams and the congregation is mostly made up of Muslims who work in the Palace of Westminster and in the surrounding Government departments.

The prayers last week were led by Imam Asim Hafiz (Imam of the Armed Forces) who delivered a sermon which has practical relevance to people’s daily lives.
