# Jamia Heddaria Mosque, Rochdale
Jamia Heddaria is an Islamic place of worship and spiritual community centre located on Mitchell Street in Rochdale. Founded in 1992 by Pir Syed Muhammad Shabeer Ali Shah Gillani Naqshbandi Mujaddidi—known as Hazrat Baba Jee Sarkar—the mosque serves as both a traditional prayer space and a hub for Naqshbandi Sufi spiritual practice within the UK's Muslim community.
The mosque functions as a centre for Islamic devotion, Quranic study, and Sufi teachings rooted in the Naqshbandi order, one of Islam's most respected spiritual traditions tracing back to Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique. Hazrat Baba Jee Sarkar, custodian of Aastana Aaliya Chura Shareef in Attock, Pakistan—recognised as the most superior Naqshbandi Dargah (shrine) in Asia and the Middle East after Sarhand Shareef—brings direct spiritual lineage and authority to the community.
What distinguishes Jamia Heddaria is its connection to this prestigious Sufi heritage. With approximately 73 Dargahs across the East receiving spiritual benefit from Chura Shareef, the mosque provides access to authentic Naqshbandi teachings and practices. The community actively engages through regular gatherings, commemorative events like the Chura Shareef Urs Paak celebrations, Quranic recitations, and spiritual discourses featuring prominent Islamic scholars and spiritual leaders. Their extensive video library documents these events, making teachings accessible to the broader diaspora community seeking grounded Islamic spirituality rooted in prophetic tradition and established Sufi practice.
