A map and directory of masjids, madrasas and Islamic centres — with prayer and Jumu'ah times, classes and events — kept up to date by local volunteers.

When you travel, move to a new town or accept Islam, finding the nearest masjid, a madrasa for your children or a class for yourself is not always easy. The Masjid & Community Directory will put this information on one map, kept accurate by local volunteers and by the masjids themselves.

What the directory will list

Masjids

Location, Jumu'ah time, facilities for sisters and accessibility.

Madrasas and Islamic schools

Classes for children and adults.

Islamic centres and charities

Services, support and contacts.

Events

Talks, classes and community gatherings.

Halal services

Food and businesses that have been checked by our volunteers.

What it will offer

  • A map that shows what is near you
  • Jumu'ah and prayer times from each masjid
  • Masjids can claim and update their own listing
  • Checked by local volunteers
