About Us “Warm, welcoming, caring, open, involved, genuine, accepting...” These are some of the words that recent visitors have used to describe Brampton Makki Masjid. We work hard at creating an environment in which people can experience God within a supportive Muslim community. Congregation are drawn from all walks of life throughout the Brampton, and surrounding areas. History The Islamic Society of Peel, Jame Makki Masjid is one of the pioneer Masjids in the Greater Toronto Area. In the 1970's Brampton was only a town with a handful of Muslims. For the Friday prayer these Muslims would drive all the way to Jame Masjid in Toronto.  In 1978, Muslims families began gathering in the Civic centre for Zhuhr prayers on Sundays. It was then that the Islamic Society of Peel was established, and in 1981 the property on which the Masjid now stands was purchased.

The piece of land at 8450 Torbram Road had a house (which is still used today), a garage and a little farm. The house was converted into a Masjid and the remaining property was transformed into a parking facility. As the community grew and Brampton developed from a town to a city, it became increasingly difficult to house the Muslim congregation coming for the Jumu’a prayer. This led to brothers praying uncomfortably outside the Masjid and in a portable during the winter.  The demand for a larger facility was ever increasing. Eventually, plans were made for a Masjid to be built. Today by the grace and mercy of Allah (SWT), Jame Makki Masjid stands as a large and beautiful white stoned building complimented with a green dome, which can accommodate approximately 1500 people.
