# New Parks Academy Musalla
New Parks Academy is a community-focused Islamic centre located in Leicester's New Parks area, serving as both a place of worship and educational institution. The musallah accommodates 60 worshippers and operates daily prayers including Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha, making it an accessible facility for local Muslims who previously lacked nearby prayer spaces.
The academy primarily serves families and children aged 4 and upwards through its dual-stream boys and girls madrasah programme. Their curriculum encompasses Quranic studies (Nazra), Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), and prophetic biography (Seerah), with specialised Hifz classes for boys aged 12 and above seeking to memorise the Quran. This structured approach caters to different learning levels and age groups within the community.
What distinguishes New Parks Academy is their holistic approach to Islamic community support. Beyond religious education, they facilitate conversions to Islam through dedicated support and guidance, recognising the sensitive nature of this life decision. They also provide comprehensive funeral services including Ghusl (ritual washing), Janazah prayers, and burial arrangements, partnering with local Muslim burial councils to serve bereaved families during difficult times.
The academy's location in an underserved area and their commitment to accessibility—offering separate facilities for boys and girls, multiple prayer times, and diverse educational programmes—demonstrates their dedication to meeting genuine community needs rather than serving only established congregations.
