About Us
Serving the Wolverton and Milton Keynes Muslim community with faith, education, and unity since 1995
Our Story
From a single prayer room to a thriving community hub serving over 1,600 worshippers.
Central Jamia Mosque opened its doors in 1995 with a simple mission: to provide a place of worship and community for the growing Muslim population in Wolverton and Milton Keynes. What began as a single room with a capacity of 350 has grown into one of the region's most vibrant Islamic centres.
In 2003, responding to the needs of our expanding community, we completed a major extension with the construction of the Shaikan Ahmed Alfarsi Hall. This brought our total capacity to nearly 1,600 worshippers, including a dedicated sisters' gallery accommodating up to 150 women.
Today, Central Jamia Mosque stands as a landmark in Milton Keynes, recognized by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. We remain committed to our founding principles of serving the community, fostering education, and building bridges of understanding across all faiths and backgrounds.
Our Mission
To serve as a spiritual sanctuary that nurtures faith, promotes Islamic education, and fosters a strong, united Muslim community in Wolverton and Milton Keynes. We are dedicated to providing essential services, supporting new Muslims, and building bridges of understanding with the wider community through interfaith dialogue and outreach.
Our Vision
To be a beacon of Islamic values and community excellence, where every individual finds spiritual growth, educational opportunity, and a sense of belonging. We envision a future where Central Jamia Mosque continues to expand its services, deepens its community impact, and remains a welcoming home for generations of Muslims in Milton Keynes.
