About

Islamic association in Dudelange

IHSAN is the Islamic association in Dudelange. Islam comes first for us. Everyone is welcome.

Many Muslims lived in and around Dudelange without a mosque nearby. IHSAN exists so they can pray, learn and meet here — with support from SHOURA, the Fondation Waqf Luxembourg and other mosques in the country. Our community is multicultural: mainly Arabic and Bosnian in the house, and also Luxembourgish, French, German, English and Albanian in daily life and on the board.

Our path

In July 2023 IHSAN was officially registered — since then we exist as the Islamic association in Dudelange. Already in October 2023 a donation evening made it possible to buy the building: the community and supporters quickly raised the means so we could have our own space.

At the notary

After the donation evening we went to the notary. We signed the purchase, received the keys — and the building is ours. Thank you to everyone who helped.

Straight after that we set up a prayer area so namaz could begin without delay. By the end of 2024 we had provisionally renovated two floors and made them usable — deliberately temporary, but enough for community life to run.

Since then all five daily prayers, Jumua, talks, ders, Halka Kur'ana and mekteb take place here. The major works are still ahead; they are only possible through donations.

Life at IHSAN

As in every mosque, the five daily prayers and Friday Jumua are at the centre. Alongside them: mekteb for children, regular talks, and a Halka Kur'ana for adults.

In Ramadan we pray here together and share iftar. On Fridays roughly 150–200 people come — not all are registered members, but they belong to the community.

Day-to-day life is carried by the imam, the board and volunteers. Anyone who wants to help is welcome. We are friends with the other mosques: IHSAN is a place for Muslims in Dudelange and the surrounding area.

What we are planning

Expansion is next: first the rear — demolition and rebuild for a larger prayer hall. Then the front with wudu, sisters’ area, classrooms, conference room and apartment.

Below you can see how the spaces should look — and the provisional plan across all floors, from ground level to the top.

Activities continue during the works; we do not stop. The whole project is carried by donations.
