Prayer times at Assalam Mosque (The Ottawa Islamic Centre)
Worked out from this masjid’s coordinates for today’s date. They are not Assalam Mosque (The Ottawa Islamic Centre)’s announced jamaa‘ah times — those are set by the masjid and usually differ. Check assalammosque.com for the jamaa‘ah timetable.

These are calculated times, not Assalam Mosque (The Ottawa Islamic Centre)’s jamaa‘ah times. They are worked out in your browser from this masjid’s own coordinates and today’s date, using the ISNA convention — the same arithmetic a printed timetable uses. What a masjid announces is something else: iqamah is set by the masjid, usually a chosen number of minutes after the prayer begins, and many hold it at a fixed clock time for weeks at a stretch. So the two will not match, and they are not meant to. For the times the congregation actually prays, check the masjid’s own site or phone (613) 739-3939.
Janazah & burial services
Downtown Ottawa mosque with one of the city's largest prayer halls. Own site (assalammosque.com) confirms a dedicated janazah contact (Br. Abdirahman, 613-265-9041, 'full janazah service including ghusl, prayer, and burial'). The Ottawa Muslim Cemetery's own site independently lists Assalam as one of five partner mosques offering ghusl, kafan and janaza prayer. Street address and main line came from a business directory (Yellow Pages), not confirmed verbatim on their own site during this check, so overall confidence is medium.
Each line below is either confirmed from the organisation’s own material or marked as not confirmed. We publish the gaps rather than guess at them.

About Assalam Mosque (The Ottawa Islamic Centre)
The Ottawa Islamic Centre and Assalam Mosque is a registered charity (CRA-registered effective 2009) and describes itself as having one of the largest prayer halls for men and women in Ottawa. It offers daily and Friday prayers, nikah (marriage) services, Ramadan programming, and a Quran and Arabic program for children, alongside full janazah service including ghusl, funeral prayer, and burial coordination.
From the organisation’s own pages, checked 13 Aug 2026 — see the sources below.
What we haven’t confirmed
We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl for women, by women, Transport of the deceased, 24-hour janazah line, the Jumu’ah time. Those are published as gaps rather than filled with a plausible guess. If you know the answer — especially if you are from this organisation — tell us and we will verify and update the listing.
Planning ahead, rather than in a crisis?
The two things a funeral coordinator asks a family for are the burial wishes and the will. Recording where your will is kept and working out the inheritance shares now spares your family both questions at the worst possible moment.
