# Masjid Al-Jannah: Derby's Premier Islamic Community Centre
Masjid Al-Jannah, operated by the Kurd Association of Derby, is a dedicated Islamic place of worship and community hub serving Derby's Muslim population. Located on St Thomas Road, the masjid provides a comprehensive range of religious, educational and social services for worshippers of all ages.
The masjid facilitates five daily congregational prayers with full khutbah (sermon) delivered on Fridays, accommodating over 1,500 Muslims. Beyond prayer, it operates structured Qur'an circles and weekend Madrasah programmes, enabling both children and adults to deepen their Islamic knowledge and Qur'anic recitation skills.
What distinguishes Masjid Al-Jannah is its commitment to scholarly excellence and community engagement. The centre hosts specialised programmes including ijazah (chains of Islamic transmission) recitals with visiting scholars, and brings renowned Islamic teachers for events like Ramadan taraweeh and motivational gatherings. This positions it as more than a prayer space—it's an educational institution attracting learners across the region.
The masjid's trajectory reflects genuine community need. Since its 2005 establishment in a modest industrial unit, it has progressively expanded, culminating in February 2025 with the completion of a purpose-built facility. This new building represents a significant investment in infrastructure, enabling the centre to deliver enhanced daily services, classes, and community programmes.
Masjid Al-Jannah actively welcomes new visitors and relies on community donations to sustain operations and expand initiatives.
