Mosquée Bilal is located at 229 rue de l'Épeule in Roubaix. It bears the name of Bilal ibn Rabah, the first muezzin of Islam, and holds the five daily prayers as well as the Friday prayer.
Getting there
Rue de l'Épeule crosses a historic district of Roubaix, fifteen minutes on foot from Roubaix-Charles de Gaulle metro station (line 2) and a few minutes from Épeule-Montesquieu. From Lille Flandres, line 2 reaches the area in around twenty minutes. Several bus lines round out the network. By car, access is via the A22 and boulevard de Belfort.
The neighbourhood
The Épeule district is one of the most emblematic of Roubaix, with its working-class fabric inherited from the textile industry. The urban fabric is made of courées, brick townhouses and small apartment buildings. Halal shops, butchers and grocers are found along rue de l'Épeule and rue de l'Ouest, a few minutes away on foot.
Practical advice for a visit
The hall is very busy on Friday noon and during Ramadan. A first visit is easier outside those times. Shoes come off before entering the prayer hall, clothing should cover shoulders and legs, and women cover their hair. Calling +33 3 20 45 90 04 in advance is useful for any specific request and the site mosqueebilalroubaix.com relays community announcements.
