The Community

The Shahjalal Islamic Centre & Masjid primarily serves as a spiritual hub for Muslims both far and near. Located in the heart of Ipswich Town, home to many diverse ethnic communities and faiths, the Masjid plays a key role in bridging communities, strengthening inter faith understanding and seeks to present Islam to the wider society – providing tours, study circles, conferences and so on.

The Masjid is a community based, independent and non-profit organisation funded by contributions from members of our community. Running a charity of this size and complexity requires the dedication and support of a great number of people. Our heartfelt thanks and prayers go to the great many people and organisations that support the Masjid and make all things possible.

The Masjid is open seven days a week from 12pm until late evening, worshippers can always find a spiritual retreat, whether it’s from the busy city life or just exploring the local attractions.

The Masjid

The Masjid can hold an estimated 800 worshippers and has separate prayer rooms for men and women with their own dedicated ablution area. Friday sermons are delivered in Bengali, English. During the month of Ramadan Iftar (food to break fast) is provided by the local community in the Masjid hall.
