# Masjid Ur Rahman

Masjid Ur Rahman, located in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, is a registered charity (No: 1189362) operated by the Sri Lanka Muslim Welfare Association. The mosque serves as a comprehensive Islamic centre for the local Muslim community and welcomes visitors of all backgrounds seeking to understand Islam.

The mosque functions as a multifaceted community hub, providing daily prayer facilities for all five daily prayers, Jummah congregations, and Taraweeh during Ramadan. Dedicated prayer areas accommodate women worshippers, ensuring inclusive access to religious services. Beyond worship, the mosque operates an active educational programme including Qur'anic studies, Arabic language tuition, and Islamic teachings for children and adults. A women's Qur'an class meets every Friday evening between Maghrib and Isha prayers, whilst Sirat Rasul Allah classes occur fortnightly.

What distinguishes Masjid Ur Rahman is its holistic approach to community welfare. The centre provides counselling services, charitable support for those in need, and assistance with major life events including marriage arrangements, funeral services, and Shahada (conversion to Islam) guidance. The mosque operates a weekend Islamic school offering structured religious education across multiple semesters.

The organisation prioritises four core pillars: knowledge acquisition, spiritual development through Ihsan, community cohesion, and service to others. This philosophy extends to interfaith relations, with the mosque actively promoting mutual respect and positive cooperation within Dewsbury's diverse society. Donations support ongoing operational costs and charitable feeding programmes.
