As is known, an important Islamic ritual is the Friday prayer, also known as the 'Jummah' prayer, which gets prayed in congregations at mosques. Part of the ritual is a religiously informative sermon just before the prayer.

In Qatar, this sermon is typically conducted in Arabic; however, mosques around Doha offer these sermons in English, which cater to the diverse nationalities and communities that Qatar is home to.

The ILoveQatar.net (ILQ) team brings you a list of mosques (in alphabetical order) where you can catch the Friday sermon, also known as 'Khutbah' in English.
