# South Tyneside Jame Masjid
South Tyneside Jame Masjid is an established Islamic place of worship and community centre located in South Shields, serving the Muslim population of South Tyneside and surrounding areas. As a Jame (congregational) mosque, it functions as the spiritual heart of the local Muslim community, providing daily prayer facilities with five obligatory prayers, including dedicated Jummah (Friday) services at 12:15pm and 1:00pm.
Beyond prayer, the masjid operates a comprehensive educational programme catering to all ages. The Maktab provides structured Islamic education for children, focusing on Quranic recitation and foundational Islamic studies, whilst adult classes offer advanced learning in Quranic studies, Arabic language and Islamic theology for mature students seeking deeper religious knowledge.
The masjid distinguishes itself through its community-focused approach, organising regular events, lectures and gatherings that foster social cohesion and spiritual development amongst members. It provides practical community services addressing social and welfare needs, recognising that Islamic practice extends beyond worship to serving humanity.
Facilities include dedicated wudu (ablution) areas for ritual purification before prayer, essential to Islamic practice. The masjid has embraced modern connectivity, offering mobile apps including MyMasjid and eMasjid Live, enabling the community to access prayer times, event notifications and service updates conveniently.
