Hamza Masjid — A Place of Worship, Learning & Unity
Welcome to Hamza Masjid — Parkdale's home for daily prayers, Friday Jumu'ah, weekend Quran classes, and a vibrant Muslim community dedicated to faith, knowledge, and service.
A 25+ Year Legacy of Faith Serving Downtown Toronto
Established in 1999 by a dedicated group of Muslims, Hamza Masjid has been the spiritual heart of the Parkdale neighborhood — serving approximately 1,000 Muslim families in downtown Toronto.
Every day, our doors open for the five daily prayers, Friday Jumu'ah congregations, and Tarawih prayers during the blessed month of Ramadan. Our weekend Islamic studies program nurtures the next generation with Quran recitation, Arabic language, and authentic Islamic knowledge.
Today, as a debt-free nonprofit organization, we are growing to better serve our community — with a bold expansion project that will add an extended prayer hall, a dedicated sisters' section, and a full madrasa facility, Insha'Allah.
