# Ashton Jame Mosque
Ashton Jame Mosque serves the Muslim community of Ashton-under-Lyne and surrounding areas in Greater Manchester, providing a dedicated space for Islamic worship and religious observance. The mosque caters to worshippers of all ages and backgrounds, offering prayer facilities aligned with Islamic tradition and practice.
The mosque distinguishes itself through its meticulous approach to prayer timings and community transparency. Rather than relying on generic Islamic apps or websites, they calculate prayer times using the respected Moonsighting Committee methodology for Fajr, Zuhr and Asr, whilst cross-referencing sunrise and sunset data for accuracy. Maghrib is consistently positioned five minutes after sunset, whilst Isha incorporates seasonal adjustments—1 hour 25 minutes in winter, gradually reducing to 1 hour in summer. This demonstrates a commitment to precise religious adherence tailored to local conditions.
The mosque actively supports its community by providing free printed timetables, though welcomes voluntary donations to cover printing costs. They follow the Umm-ul Quraa calendar used in Saudi Arabia whilst remaining responsive to important dates through consultation with other mosques and Islamic centres. Their website offers historical timetables spanning multiple years, and they maintain accessible communication channels including email, telephone, and in-person consultation with the Imam or Committee Members.
