Canadian University Opens Muslim Prayer Room

The University of Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada now has a place for its Muslim students to pray while on campus.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The university formally opened a Masjid, or Muslim prayer room, on Monday. Muslims pray five times a day. 

The university’s student association collaborated with the Muslim student association to create the space in the university's Wesley Hall Basement. 

University officials said the Masjid was established not only as a place for students to pray but to encourage intercultural dialogue.
