Manchester Central Mosque

Manchester Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre (also known as Victoria Park Mosque and historically referred to as Jamia Mosque or Jamiat-ul-Muslimin) is a mosque located in the Victoria Park area of Manchester, England. It is situated approximately two miles south of Manchester city centre, between Rusholme and Longsight, close to the Curry Mile. The mosque plays a significant role in Manchester’s Muslim community. The mosque originated from two adjacent residential properties acquired by local Muslim communities in the mid-20th century, one associated with Syrian textile merchants operating in Manchester since the early 1900s, and the other owned by members of the South Asian Muslim community living in the surrounding areas. In 1971, work commenced on a purpose-built mosque in Victoria Park. The original houses were demolished, and the mosque assumed its current form. Since then, several expansions and modifications have taken place. The mosque has been served by a number of imams over the years who contributed to its religious life during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Manchester Central Mosque follows Sunni Islamic teachings. It recognises the four classical schools of Islamic jurisprudence, with a primary emphasis on the Hanafi school. Its theological orientation aligns with the Ashʿari and Maturidi traditions, and it accommodates a range of Sufi devotional practices. The mosque is commonly associated with the Barelwi tradition within Sunni Islam, a movement that originated in the Indian subcontinent. In addition to daily congregational prayers, the mosque functions as a religious, educational, and community centre, hosting sermons, Islamic education, and community events. It has historically served as a focal point for Muslim communities in Manchester, including students and local residents.
