# Jaame Masjid - Central Mosque, Blackburn
Jaame Masjid is an established Islamic cultural centre serving the Muslim community and wider population of Blackburn, Lancashire. Founded in 1962, it holds the distinction of being Lancashire's first mosque, reflecting its deep roots and significance within the region.
The organisation operates as a multifaceted religious and educational institution. It serves as a primary place of worship, offering five daily prayers with published prayer timetables accessible to congregants. Beyond spiritual services, Jaame Masjid operates Madrasah Ta'leemul Islam, an Islamic educational programme established in the early 1960s that has expanded substantially over the decades. The madrasah provides religious education to younger generations, grounded in Quranic and Sunnah-based teaching methodologies, aiming to develop knowledge, wisdom, and moral character.
What sets Jaame Masjid apart is its comprehensive community approach. The centre hosts weekly Islahi Majlis (spiritual guidance sessions) with live broadcast capabilities, demonstrating commitment to accessibility. It maintains modern communication channels, including live audio broadcasts and online forms for madrasah applications, bridging traditional Islamic education with contemporary technology.
The organisation operates as a registered charity (1173723) and actively seeks community support through transparent donation mechanisms and project appeals. Its longevity—over 60 years of continuous operation—alongside its diverse programming reflects genuine integration within Blackburn's community fabric.
