Jamatkhana, literally "congregational place," is an amalgamation derived from the Arabic word jama‘a (gathering) and the Persian word khana (house, place). It is a term used by some Muslim communities around the world to denote a place of gathering. At SFU this gathering is for prayer amongst the Ismaili community.
