# Westwood Mosque
Westwood Mosque serves Oldham's substantial Muslim community, functioning as a comprehensive religious and community hub in the heart of this diverse borough. The mosque operates as a focal point for spiritual observance, educational development, and social support across all ages.
The organisation centres its mission on meeting local community needs and advancing the common good. Beyond providing spaces for the five daily prayers, Westwood Mosque delivers structured Islamic education through its madrasah programme for children and adults, ensuring religious learning remains engaging and accessible. The youth programme forms a cornerstone of their work, reflecting the mosque's commitment to developing young Muslims.
What distinguishes Westwood Mosque is its holistic approach to community service. They offer religious counselling and advice on Islamic matters affecting daily life, deliver regular lectures and training including Tafseer classes in Bangla, Hadith study circles, and Fiqh education. The mosque actively welcomes school visits and educational tours, fostering interfaith understanding and meaningful interaction between young people and the Muslim community.
Additional offerings include women-only activities, health and wellbeing initiatives, and community activities designed to strengthen social bonds. The organisation demonstrates commitment to knowledge and character development, publishing articles and resources on Islamic topics. Their Thursday evening classes—currently focusing on lessons from Abu Bakr (RA)—showcase their dedication to systematic religious instruction delivered by qualified teachers like Ustadh Mohammed Hannan.
