# Masjidul Aqsa Mosque
Masjidul Aqsa Mosque is an established Islamic place of worship and community centre located in Oldham, serving the local Muslim population and wider community since 1994. The mosque provides a comprehensive range of religious, educational and social services rooted in Islamic tradition whilst maintaining a progressive, forward-thinking approach to faith practice.
The mosque serves Muslims of all ages and backgrounds, from young children through to elderly members of the community. Their mission extends beyond prayer provision to encompassing Islamic education, community development and celebration of significant religious occasions including Ramadan, Eid and other Muslim festivals.
