# Sughra Mosque Bolton
Sughra Mosque is an established Islamic place of worship located in Bolton, BL4 7LD, with a proud heritage spanning over 75 years of service to the local Muslim community. As one of Bolton's oldest mosques, it serves as a spiritual and social hub for Muslim residents across the region.
The mosque is led by Hafiz Muhammad Tahir Ali, an Al-Azhari scholar with a BA (Honours) in Islamic Law from Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt—one of Islam's most prestigious institutions. His credentials are further strengthened by his study of English Law (LPC) at Preston, positioning him to bridge Islamic jurisprudence with UK legal contexts. This dual expertise makes him well-suited to guide the congregation through both spiritual and practical matters affecting British Muslims.
Sughra Mosque distinguishes itself through its scholarly leadership and commitment to accessible worship. The mosque provides detailed prayer times for the five daily Islamic prayers—Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha—with both prayer commencement times and designated jamaat (congregational) times. This helps worshippers plan their day around their religious obligations. The mosque maintains transparency by publishing upcoming prayer schedules and communicating any adjustments through announcements.
Beyond prayer services, the mosque functions as a community centre, offering a welcoming space for Muslims to gather, learn, and connect. Its longevity demonstrates its integral role in Bolton's multicultural fabric, serving families and individuals seeking authentic Islamic guidance and fellowship.
