# Redbridge Islamic Centre (Gants Hill Masjid)
Redbridge Islamic Centre, located in Ilford, is a community-focused mosque serving the Muslim population of East London. The centre functions as a comprehensive Islamic institution, providing daily prayer facilities with five scheduled prayer times (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha) and organised congregational gatherings. The mosque operates dual Jumu'ah services on Fridays at 1:25pm and 2:10pm to accommodate the significant local Muslim community.
Beyond traditional prayer services, RIC distinguishes itself through an active community engagement programme. The centre hosts weekly Family Halaqahs on Saturday evenings, educational sessions exploring Islamic teachings, and regular Games Nights to foster social cohesion among members. A particular highlight is the annual "Eid in the Park" celebration, demonstrating the mosque's commitment to public community events and interfaith visibility.
The centre is currently undergoing significant redevelopment to create a purpose-built facility, with transparent community involvement in planning and fundraising initiatives. This forward-thinking approach reflects RIC's vision to serve future generations whilst maintaining its current role as a spiritual and social hub.
RIC serves diverse demographics within East London's Muslim community, from families seeking religious education to young adults participating in social activities. The organisation emphasises ethical and moral guidance rooted in Islamic principles, making it accessible and welcoming to both established congregation members and newcomers seeking spiritual connection and community belonging.
