# Ummah Masjid & Gwent Community Centre
Ummah Masjid & Gwent Community Centre is a welcoming mosque and community hub serving Newport's Muslim population and broader Gwent community. Located in NP19 8FH, the centre operates as both a place of worship and an educational institution, fostering spiritual growth, cultural understanding, and social cohesion.
The organisation facilitates five daily prayers alongside Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) services and seasonal Eid celebrations, providing a serene space for worship. Beyond prayer, they deliver comprehensive Islamic education through Quran classes, Islamic studies courses, and weekend schooling for children and adults. Their R.I.S.E. Youth Programme addresses young people specifically, whilst women's activities ensure inclusive engagement across demographics.
What distinguishes Ummah is their commitment to interfaith dialogue and community integration. They actively organise the "Explore Islam" workshop programme, bringing interactive sessions to schools and workplaces to build understanding of Islamic principles. Their mosque visiting initiative welcomes both individual visitors and groups seeking to learn about Islamic traditions firsthand.
The centre functions as a genuine community gathering space, hosting workshops, seminars, and events that promote unity and cultural exchange throughout the year. Their proactive outreach approach—offering to visit external organisations or host visitors—demonstrates commitment to breaking down barriers and fostering meaningful dialogue between the Muslim community and wider Newport society.
