# Shahjalal Mosque & Islamic Centre
Shahjalal Mosque & Islamic Centre is a faith-based community organisation located in the Coppice area of Oldham, serving the local Muslim population for over 30 years. The mosque functions as both a place of worship and a comprehensive Islamic educational and social hub, welcoming worshippers of all backgrounds to its prayer halls throughout the day.
The organisation primarily serves the Muslim community of Oldham and surrounding areas, providing essential religious services alongside educational and life-event support. Their congregation ranges from daily worshippers attending the five daily prayers to families engaging with community programmes and special occasions.
What distinguishes Shahjalal is its integrated approach to community care. Beyond standard mosque functions, they operate a Moktab (Islamic education programme) offering Quranic studies and Arabic language tuition for children and adults. The centre also provides specialist services including Nikkah (marriage) ceremonies conducted with proper Islamic guidance, Janazah (funeral) services ensuring dignified Islamic rites, and a Knowledge Corner offering theological resources. Their event calendar features regular community gatherings and Eid celebrations, fostering social cohesion.
The mosque actively encourages charitable giving through their donation programme, framing Zakat and sadaqah within Islamic teachings. Their "Ask Imam" service demonstrates commitment to accessible religious guidance, whilst the detailed prayer timetable and gallery showcasing community moments reflect transparency and inclusivity. This multifaceted approach—combining worship, education, life services, and community engagement—positions them as a comprehensive spiritual and social centre rather than a place of worship alone.
