# Neeli Mosque & Islamic Centre
Established in 1969, Neeli Mosque is a long-standing Islamic institution in Rochdale serving the local Muslim community and beyond. As a branch of the United Kingdom Islamic Mission (a registered charity), the mosque functions as both a place of worship and a comprehensive community hub.
The organisation serves Muslim worshippers of all ages through five daily prayers, with detailed prayer times published for congregants. The mosque is particularly notable for its commitment to interfaith engagement, actively working to build bridges between the Islamic community and wider society through dialogue and shared understanding.
What distinguishes Neeli Mosque is its multifaceted approach to community service. Beyond spiritual guidance, they operate an educational centre providing Islamic learning opportunities tailored to the local community. Their dawah initiatives are specifically geared towards contemporary audiences, producing English-language materials to educate younger generations and inform the general public about Islam. This focus on accessible education reflects their recognition of integration within British society.
The mosque also prioritises vulnerable community members, offering dedicated support services and youth activities. This holistic approach—combining worship, education, outreach, and social welfare—demonstrates their commitment to spiritual growth alongside practical community development.
Their 50+ year presence in Rochdale has established them as a trusted anchor organisation, combining traditional Islamic values with modern community engagement practices.
