About Ummah Society
The Largest Muslim Charity in Atlantic Canada
The Ummah Society is the largest Muslim charity in Atlantic Canada. Founded in 1989, its mission is to embody the first Islamic Institution established by Prophet Mohammed PBUH and the early Muslim Immigrants. As It was beyond a place of worship, It was a beacon of knowledge, a refuge for charity, a shelter for the homeless, a community space for gatherings and celebrations, and a haven for children’s play and growth. In essence, the aim is to render the Ummah Society a hub around which the lives of Muslims in Atlantic Canada revolve. The Society works in different sectors and operates three Mosques across Nova Scotia, P-12 private schools, licensed daycares, and recreation centres.
Ummah Mosque
We at the Ummah Mosque strive to resemble the first Mosque established in Islam by Prophet Mohammed PBUH and the early Muslim immigrants. It was more than a place of worship, It was a beacon of knowledge, a refuge for charity, a shelter for the homeless, a community space for gatherings and celebrations, a haven for children’s play and growth, and most importantly a place in which the wisdom of living Islam materializes. In essence, the aim is to render the Mosque a modern-day hub around which the Muslims’ life revolves.

Ummah Mosque of Antigonish
In this quiet and small town of little over 20,000 people, the need for a Mosque was deeply felt for decades. Muslims had longed for a dedicated space to come together for prayers and community activities. Responding to this need, the Ummah Mosque of Antigonish was established in a prime location in 2021, becoming a unifying force as the first and only Mosque and Community Center in the county. With the presence of St. Francis Xavier University and St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, the mosque also serves as a spiritual haven for students, healthcare professionals, and community members alike.
Ummah Mosque of Wolfville
The growing Islamic community in the Annapolis Valley faced a considerable challenge due to the lack of a Mosque, particularly relevant to Acadia University’s international student population and health care professionals at the Valley Regional Hospital. Addressing this void, the Ummah Mosque of Wolfville opened its doors for prayers in February 2022. The Masjid has become a vibrant center for the community as It remains the sole Mosque in the Valley.

Awesome Mosque in Halifax. This is the main mosque and biggest in Halifax. they always have alot of activities going on especially for kids and youth groups to engage them in health and spiritual development. Very clean and accessible. There is easy to find parking as well.
Myself and my wife got married here. We wish we could have came more often before moving provinces, it's absolutely beautiful and we may never find a mosque we like more. Also, the Imam is the best Imam. Seriously, he is amazing. It's indescribable how understanding, compassionate, intelligent and wise he is.
Yesterday I participated in the interfaith harmony week event here at the mosque, and was blown away by the hard work and care that went into this. There were dozens of community volunteers there to answer any questions we visitors had, and to make us feel at home. This is clearly a wonderful place to find peace and prayer and I hope more and more people will visit and find your light as beautiful as I did 💜
Subhan Allah! I declared Shahada there Feb 2024. Wonderful mosque with wonderful people. God bless you all!
The Biggest mosque in the halifax. Huge gatherings in the Jumma. Seperate jamat place for men and women. Community ifter is served without fee on Tuesday and Thursday in ramadan upon registration. The management of the mosque is so disciplined.
