# Alhidaya Croydon
Alhidaya Croydon is an Islamic community centre and mosque located in Thornton Heath, serving the local Muslim population and broader South London community. The masjid provides five daily congregational prayers with scheduled prayer times displayed prominently, accommodating worshippers across different prayer sessions, particularly the two Jummah (Friday) services at 1:20pm and 2:00pm to manage capacity.
Beyond worship, Alhidaya functions as a comprehensive religious and educational hub. They operate an integrated madrasa (Islamic school) offering spiritual and academic instruction to young people, emphasising both religious development and educational achievement. The centre actively engages the community through educational content, including talks and lectures available on their YouTube channel, and religious observance guidance such as Ramadan timetables.
What distinguishes Alhidaya is their ambitious expansion project currently underway. Recognising growing community needs, they are undertaking building works to increase capacity to 200 people, providing enhanced space for both the mosque and madrasa facilities. This initiative reflects their commitment to supporting youth development and strengthening the broader Muslim community.
The organisation demonstrates forward-thinking community engagement by partnering with LaunchGood to enable supporters to create personalised fundraising campaigns, making it accessible for individuals worldwide to contribute to the expansion. They also facilitate Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) donations during Ramadan, supporting charitable obligations within Islamic practice.
