# Port Talbot Mosque & Islamic Centre
Port Talbot Mosque & Islamic Centre, established in 2002, serves the Muslim community of Port Talbot and surrounding areas through the Muslim Welfare Association of Port Talbot (MWAPT). Located on Oakwood Lane in the town centre, this voluntary non-profit organisation has evolved from a single-room community space into a fully-functioning mosque offering comprehensive Islamic services.
The mosque operates five daily prayers in congregation, Friday Jummah prayers, and special services during Eid and Ramadan. Beyond worship, it provides structured Qur'an and Arabic classes for both children and adults, supporting Islamic education across all age groups. The centre also offers full funeral rites conducted according to Islamic guidelines and marriage services with certification.
What distinguishes Port Talbot Mosque is its genuine commitment to community integration and interfaith dialogue. Operating an open-door policy, the mosque actively invites visitors and regularly hosts school visits and open days, working closely with local schools and organisations to build bridges with non-Muslim communities. This welcoming approach reflects its philosophy of sharing Islamic knowledge and fostering understanding.
Entirely dependent on voluntary contributions and donations from the local community, the mosque demonstrates strong grassroots support. Its professional yet accessible approach—combining essential religious services with educational programmes and community engagement—makes it a vital spiritual and cultural hub for Port Talbot's Muslim population whilst remaining genuinely open to wider community participation.
