# Raza Jamia Masjid
Raza Jamia Masjid (RJM) is a 24/7 Islamic place of worship and community centre located in Accrington, Lancashire. Established in December 2017, it represents the continuation of Accrington's Muslim community heritage, tracing its roots back to 1969 when the town's first mosque opened on Blackburn Road.
RJM serves the local Muslim population and broader community by providing comprehensive religious and social facilities. The masjid operates round-the-clock to accommodate the five daily prayers (Ṣalāh), with dedicated prayer halls for both men and women. Beyond daily worship, RJM hosts special religious observances including Friday congregational prayers (Jumu'ah), Ramadan Tarāwīḥ prayers with Qurān completion, and the two major Islamic festivals of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha.
What distinguishes RJM is its holistic approach to serving its congregation. Beyond religious functions, it operates as a genuine community centre actively promoting peace and interfaith cohesion within Accrington. The facility also supports Islamic education through its Madrassa project and facilitates important life events such as Muslim marriages (Nikāḥ).
RJM operates entirely on public donations, reflecting its deep community roots. The mosque's commitment to accessibility—being open continuously for prayer, coupled with its inclusive approach welcoming women to all services—makes it a progressive and welcoming institution that addresses both the spiritual and social needs of Accrington's Muslim community.
