# Darul Ummah Jame' Masjid
Darul Ummah is an established Islamic community centre located in East London that operates as both a functioning mosque and multi-purpose hub serving the local Muslim population. Founded in 1997 by Da'watul Islam UK and Eire, the organisation has grown to support over 6,000 weekly users across its facilities and services.
The masjid provides comprehensive Islamic worship facilities with five daily prayers conducted at scheduled times, alongside Friday congregational prayers led by Shaykh Ashiqur Rahman Al-Azhari. Beyond prayer services, Darul Ummah functions as a community resource centre, delivering locally-based projects designed to meet specific needs within East London's diverse Muslim demographic.
What distinguishes Darul Ummah is its status as a platform for Islamic scholarship and education. The mosque regularly hosts visits from internationally renowned Qur'an reciters and Islamic scholars, including luminaries such as Shaykh Abdur Rahman As-Sudais and Shaykh Abu Bakr Ash-Shatri. These events are professionally recorded and shared via their Darul Ummah TV YouTube channel, extending the mosque's educational reach beyond its physical walls. The organisation maintains active engagement with its community through donation initiatives for facility improvements, including mosque carpet replacements, and actively fundraises for sustainability through platforms like LaunchGood.
Registered as a charity (No. 1186155), Darul Ummah combines traditional Islamic practice with contemporary community development and digital outreach.
