Services and accessibility
- Mixed prayer hall
Mosquée Al Imane is located at 59 rue de Marquillies in Lille, in the Lille-Sud district. It is among the city's largest mosques and has its own Wikipedia article. It holds the five daily prayers as well as the Friday prayer and plays an important role during religious feasts.
Getting there
Rue de Marquillies is a few minutes on foot from Porte d'Arras metro station (line 2), two stops from Lille Flandres. Several bus lines round out the network. By car, access is via boulevard Hoover and the N356, with reasonably accessible street parking during the week.
The neighbourhood
Lille-Sud has been the focus of major urban renewal around the Arras-Europe project. The fabric combines renewed housing estates, recent buildings and small workers' houses. Halal shops, butchers and grocers are reachable around rue d'Arras and as far as Wazemmes, fifteen minutes on foot.
Practical advice for a visit
The hall's large capacity makes reception more flexible than in small mosques, but a first visit is easier outside Friday noon and outside Ramadan Tarawih night prayers. Shoes come off before entering the prayer hall, clothing should cover shoulders and legs, and women cover their hair. Calling +33 3 20 53 02 65 in advance is useful for any specific request and the site mosqueelille.fr relays community announcements.
