According to the Auxiliary of the imam, the mosque could accommodate up to 2,000 people. It is especially crowded on Friday between 11h and 13h (during the midday prayer in Arabic called adh-Dhuhr and which usually takes place around 12:30 pm) and during special Islamic festivals such as the Eid . Masjid al-Rahim is not really a tourist place (except that it is often photographed from the outside) and remains primarily a place of prayer.
