# MASAB Islamic Centre
MASAB (Masjid Al-Samee Al-Basir) is a specialist Islamic centre located in Wednesbury that provides inclusive worship and religious education for Muslims with disabilities and special educational needs. Operating as part of the One Community Organisation, a registered charity, MASAB addresses a critical gap in UK mosque accessibility by offering dedicated facilities and services for deaf, blind and SEND community members.
The centre delivers Qur'anic education, prayer services and Islamic instruction in British Sign Language and Braille—a unique offering amongst UK mosques. MASAB hosts Friday Jummah prayers with sign language interpretation, Taraweeh prayers during Ramadan with BSL support, and regular Islamic classes tailored to those with disabilities. The facility includes induction loops for hearing assistance, an Islamic Braille library, and counselling services.
What sets MASAB apart is their commitment to removing barriers to Islamic practice. Rather than expecting disabled worshippers to adapt, they've redesigned services around accessibility. Their Qur'an school caters specifically to deaf and blind students, whilst funeral services and advice programmes ensure comprehensive spiritual support throughout life.
Currently fundraising £150,000 to establish the UK's first dedicated special needs Islamic centre, MASAB serves Muslims globally with SEND, providing both physical facilities and digital resources including their YouTube channel featuring signed prayers and teachings. Their vision recognises that the mosque should be welcoming to all, regardless of physical or cognitive ability.
