# Al-Tawheed Masjid Glasgow
Al-Tawheed Masjid is Scotland's sole Kurdish-language Islamic community and education centre, serving Glasgow's diverse Muslim population since 2014. Located in Tollcross, the masjid operates as both a place of worship and a comprehensive Islamic learning institution.
The organisation primarily serves families and individuals seeking to strengthen their Islamic knowledge and practice, with particular emphasis on the Kurdish-speaking community. They cater to people of all ages and backgrounds, creating an inclusive environment where both men and women can engage with Islamic teachings at their own pace.
What distinguishes Al-Tawheed is its culturally-specific approach to Islamic education combined with its role as a multifunctional community hub. Rather than functioning solely as a prayer space, the masjid actively promotes Islamic values through structured educational programmes. Their Quranic instruction focuses on proper recitation techniques (Tajweed), memorization (Hifz), and textual understanding, with dedicated teachers offering flexible scheduling to accommodate different learning levels.
Beyond religious education, Al-Tawheed provides essential life-event services, hosting Nikkah ceremonies and Aqeeqa celebrations in a respectful, spiritually-conducive setting. This dual function—part sanctuary, part educational institution, part ceremonial venue—positions them as a vital anchor for Glasgow's Kurdish Muslim community, bridging cultural identity with contemporary Islamic practice in Scotland.
