# Bath Islamic Centre
Bath Mosque, officially known as Al-Muzzafar Bath Islamic Centre, is a community hub located in central Bath serving the city's Muslim population and those seeking to deepen their Islamic knowledge. Situated at 8 Pierrepont Street, the mosque functions as a multifaceted institution combining daily prayer facilities, educational programming and community engagement.
The centre serves Muslim worshippers of all ages alongside non-Muslim individuals interested in learning about Islam and Arabic language. Their Friday Jumu'ah prayers attract congregants with two scheduled Khutbahs at 1:30 PM and 2:15 PM, with sermons led by Imam Dr Mohammed Gamal Abdelnour and livestreamed on YouTube.
What distinguishes Bath Mosque is its comprehensive educational approach. Beyond traditional prayer services, the centre offers structured Quran study circles, dedicated children's Quranic and Arabic school on Sundays, and specialised Quranic Arabic courses for adult non-Arabic speakers. These programmes are guided by an exceptionally qualified imam—a hafiz who studied at Al-Azhar for 18 years, holds advanced degrees from Durham University and SOAS, and is a published academic with Oxford University Press.
The mosque emphasises accessibility and community building, maintaining separate ablution facilities for men and women and providing both in-person and recorded online access to classes. Their active social media presence across YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, alongside a private WhatsApp community group, demonstrates commitment to modern outreach whilst maintaining traditional Islamic values.
