# City Jamia Masjid - The Islamic Academy of Manchester
City Jamia Masjid, operated by The Islamic Academy of Manchester, is a registered charity providing comprehensive Islamic services and education to Manchester's Muslim community. Located on Stockport Road in Longsight, the organisation has been serving the city for decades and now operates from a purpose-built mosque established in 2015.
The academy serves worshippers of all ages and backgrounds, offering daily prayers with set prayer times and a dedicated Friday Jumah service. Beyond worship, they provide structured Islamic education through their Alimah Class for advanced religious studies and Kidz Club for younger members learning Islamic values and teachings. The community centre hosts weekly classes covering various aspects of Islamic knowledge and practice.
What distinguishes City Jamia Masjid is their holistic approach to serving the Muslim community. They provide specialist services including funeral arrangements through their City Jamia Funeral Service, recognising the importance of Islamic rites during difficult times. The organisation emphasises bridging classical Islamic scholarship with contemporary life, reflecting their philosophy that development lies in the teachings of the Prophet rather than secular materialism alone.
The facility offers practical amenities including a dedicated car park, making access convenient for worshippers. As a registered charity, they actively seek community support through donations to maintain and expand their services. Their longevity—originally based at Upper Brook Street for 40 years—demonstrates deep roots and trusted standing within Manchester's Islamic community.
