Established in Forest Gate, in the heart of the London Borough of Newham, Azhar Masjid has been serving one of the UK’s largest and most diverse Muslim communities for many years.
Under the management and guidance of qualified Islamic scholars, the Masjid plays a vital role in supporting both the spiritual and social needs of the local community. Our newly refurbished Masjid has been designed and constructed to accommodate up to 450 worshippers, providing a welcoming, well-maintained, and accessible space for daily prayers and religious gatherings.
Alongside congregational prayers, Azhar Masjid serves as a centre for Islamic education, community engagement, and outreach activities that benefit people of all ages.
We operate a Weekday and Weekend Madrasah for Boys and Girls, as well as our daily evening Maktab (supplementary Islamic classes), Madrasah, Hifz Class and Aalimiyyah Classes.
