Malls/arcades in Kampala’s central business district with mosques named
On Monday March 11, 2024, Muslims around the world embarked on fasting the holy month of Ramathan – a period of self-restriction, prayer and subjugation of one’s self to the will of Allah. It is a time for prayer, with many hours spent in mosques by able believers.
Kampala’s Central Business District (CBD) has a number of mosques or prayer rooms located on malls/arcades that many – especially travelers might not be aware of. The Friday Call has compiled a list of the malls/arcades in the CBD to enable you have that place to spend time supplicating to Allah during and after the month of Ramathan.
Some of these mosques may be big enough to hold Jumah prayers.
