# Central Mosque Rochdale
Central Mosque Rochdale is an established Islamic community institution serving Rochdale since 1974. What began as a converted church has evolved into a purpose-built mosque and Islamic centre offering comprehensive religious, educational, and pastoral services to the Muslim community and broader borough.
The mosque operates five daily prayers across three locations including their main Ashfield Road venue, with live Salah and Iqamah times updated daily. Beyond worship, they provide essential lifecycle services including Nikah ceremonies conducted by their Imams throughout the week and compassionate Janazah and funeral support, including ritual washing guidance and burial arrangements.
A distinguishing feature is their substantial educational provision through the Nuqtah Education Group, encompassing Nuqtah Primary School, CMR Maktab weekend classes, the Ahlul Qur'an Initiative, and specialised programmes like Maktabah 'A'ishah As-Siddiqah and the Sīrah Series. This multi-tiered approach ensures Islamic learning across all ages from primary school through adult education.
The mosque maintains an extensive audio library featuring Qur'an recitations, scholarly talks, Friday sermons, and Ramadan programmes, making Islamic knowledge accessible beyond physical attendance. They actively encourage community participation through regular donation channels supporting mosque operations, education programmes, and community services. With over fifty years' experience, Central Mosque Rochdale combines traditional Islamic practice with contemporary community engagement, establishing itself as a trusted spiritual and educational hub for the region.
