# Portsmouth Jami Mosque and Islamic Centre
Portsmouth Jami Mosque and Islamic Centre is a place of worship and community hub serving the Muslim population of Portsmouth and the wider South Coast. Established in 1972, it relocated to its current location at 111 Victoria Road North in 2002 to accommodate its rapidly growing congregation. The mosque stands as the largest on the South Coast, with capacity for over 1,000 worshippers.
The centre provides essential religious facilities and services for the Muslim community, with regular daily prayers and a prominent Friday Jum'ah Salah service at 1:30pm. Beyond worship, it functions as an Islamic educational and cultural centre, fostering community engagement and spiritual development. The mosque serves as a vital gathering space for Muslims of all backgrounds, facilitating both religious observance and social cohesion.
What distinguishes Portsmouth Jami Mosque is its significant scale and established heritage—nearly 50 years of continuous service to the community. Its purpose-built facilities reflect its role as a major religious institution on the South Coast, capable of hosting large congregations for significant Islamic occasions such as Eid celebrations and Ramadan observances. The centre's prominence within Portsmouth's multicultural landscape and its commitment to maintaining open facilities for worship demonstrate its importance as an inclusive community resource. The mosque actively encourages charitable support through donation initiatives, reflecting its broader mission to serve and strengthen the local Muslim community.
