# Imam Ridha Center
The Imamia Community Association of Peterborough (ICAP) is a registered charity serving the Shia Ithna-Asheri Muslim community in Peterborough and surrounding areas. Based in PE1 3BB, this non-profit organisation is dedicated to promoting the teachings of Ahle Bait through structured religious programming and community engagement.
ICAP organises regular Majalis (religious gatherings), seminars and workshops tailored to the spiritual needs of local Shia Muslims, regardless of gender, caste or ethnicity. The centre functions as both a mosque and community hub, providing essential prayer facilities with regularly updated prayer timings for all five daily prayers.
What distinguishes ICAP is its comprehensive approach to community support. Beyond religious services, they organise celebratory events such as the Wiladat (birth anniversary) of Imam Ridha, featuring renowned speakers, Quranic recitations, devotional poetry and communal meals. Their events are notably inclusive—recent celebrations specifically welcomed children with refreshments and encouraged family participation. The organisation also extends its reach through live-streaming events on Facebook and YouTube, making services accessible to those unable to attend in person.
The centre demonstrates strong commitment to social welfare and education, partnering with local authorities and voluntary organisations. ICAP's transparent governance as a registered charity (number 1163467) reflects their accountability to the community they serve. Their balanced focus on spiritual nourishment, social cohesion and recreational activities makes them a cornerstone institution for Peterborough's Shia Muslim population.
