Dawoodi Bohras Al Masjid Al Saifee is a thriving Islamic community centre and mosque serving the Dawoodi Bohra community in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. Established in 1975 with just 12 families, the jamaat has grown to approximately 490 members across 160 families, predominantly professionals and business owners working across healthcare, civil service, banking and other sectors.
The organisation operates Saifee Masjid, one of the UK's most distinctive mosques, which opened in 2017 and was formally inaugurated by community leader His Holiness Syedna Muffadal Saifuddin. The facility is uniquely comprehensive, encompassing a mosque, integrated school, sports hall and dual car parks, accommodating over 1,000 worshippers.
What distinguishes this community is its deep professional integration within British society, particularly in the NHS where members work as doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and allied health professionals. The organisation actively engages in interfaith initiatives and charitable work, including support for causes like Macmillan Cancer Support.
Beyond religious observance, the centre serves as a cultural hub offering education, community events and social welfare support. The Bohra community's multicultural composition—drawing members from diverse international backgrounds—enriches the centre's inclusive ethos whilst maintaining strong religious and cultural traditions spanning decades.
