# Aisha Masjid & Islamic Centre
Aisha Masjid & Islamic Centre, located on London Road in Earley, Reading, serves as a comprehensive Islamic institution for the local Muslim community and beyond. The centre functions as a fully operational mosque offering five daily prayers with published prayer times, whilst extending its mission far beyond traditional worship.
The organisation distinguishes itself through its extensive range of integrated services. It operates AMIC Maktab, an Islamic education programme for children and young people, alongside adult Islamic guidance through its "Ask the Imam" service. The centre provides complete funeral arrangements including mortuary facilities, recognising the importance of Islamic burial practices. It also conducts Nikkah (Islamic marriage) ceremonies and operates dedicated marriage services through its sister organisation, Aisha Marriage Services.
What sets this institution apart is its commitment to community engagement and social responsibility. The centre offers outreach and support services including food bank provision, clothing distribution, and counselling. It actively welcomes new Muslims with dedicated support programmes and operates educational tours for schools and colleges, promoting interfaith understanding. This demonstrates a proactive approach to building bridges with the wider Reading community rather than remaining insular.
The centre explicitly states its doors are open to everyone, reflecting an inclusive ethos. By combining spiritual guidance, religious education, life event ceremonies, and practical community support under one organisation, Aisha Masjid creates a holistic resource for Muslims whilst actively contributing to broader community wellbeing and social cohesion.
