Islamic Society of Willowdale

Rating: 0.0

Description: Located in cluster of brick office town houses. Plaque outfront reads 'Community Centre' in large lettering and then underneath in much smaller 'Islamic Society of Willowdale' - is easy to miss this second line.

Mosque is in an office townhouse, so the space is cut up into rooms (offices). Because of this it was difficult to get a sense of how the spaces are used - where the main prayer space is, etc. Mosque appears to occupy 3 levels of the townhouse. Women pray on the second floor, in what would have been a large office. Room is bare except for a few storage boxes. When I was there I heard but did not see men praying further down the hall on this floor. The 1st floor - entrance has a bulletin board filled with community messages and cubbies for shoes. There also seems to be a small prayer room off the entrance - but I did not actually go into this so I can't say for sure. The only person I saw when there was a 30 something South Asian man who directed me to the women's prayer room. Also saw an elderly South Asian man in salwar kameez leaving the mosque when I arrived. I had the feeling that I was being watched by the younger man while I was in the mosque - I couldn't tell if this was because they don't get many strangers, because I am not from the congregation's ethnic group or because I am a woman and they don't get many women attending the mosque. I certainly didn't feel like lingering. That said, the mosque is clean and well-appointed - for that alone it was above average.
