Guided Mosque Visits

A visit to the Turku Mosque is the perfect way to learn more about Islam and to get to know your local Muslim neighbours in the city. Our doors are open to everyone.

Every year we open our doors to hundreds of visitors. We welcome groups from Universities, high schools, primary schools, authorities, businesses, other religious groups – the list could go on.

A visit to the Turku Mosque is a great way to complement your educational curriculum, provide training to your staff or simply satisfy your personal curiosity. So, read on – and then book your visit!

What you may expect

Visits lasts approximately 60 minutes. We’ll first kick off your visit by giving you a short tour of the mosque. This includes visiting the main prayer rooms, ablution (ritual wash) and communal areas.

After the tour we’ll get you settled and comfy with a cup of coffee or tea on the house. We’ll then test your knowledge of different aspects of Islam with a little quiz that we’ve prepared for our visitors. A little tip for those who like to get competitive: studying the content on our website is a great way to prepare for the quiz!

The quiz is a fun and an interactive way to learn about basic Islamic terminology, history and interesting facts about the Turku Muslim community and also the Turku Islamic Society. As part of the quiz visitors can take part in an open discussion and ask questions as we go in a relaxed, laid back environment.

If you happen to hear the call to prayer during your tour, we will pause to observe one the five daily prayers. For many, this can be the highlight of the tour. Finally, you will also have some time to look around the mosque at your own leisure.

“Our visit went very well and the presentation we got was extremely informative. I learned a lot.”
