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.<\/p>\r\n <p>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.<\/p>\r\n <p>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.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <!-- Stats Grid -->\r\n <div class=\"stats-grid-large\">\r\n <div class=\"stat-card\">\r\n <div class=\"stat-icon\">\r\n <i class=\"fas fa-calendar\"><\/i>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-number\">1995<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-label\">Established<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-card\">\r\n <div class=\"stat-icon\">\r\n <i class=\"fas fa-users\"><\/i>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-number\">1,600<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-label\">Capacity<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-card\">\r\n <div class=\"stat-icon\">\r\n <i class=\"fas fa-female\"><\/i>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-number\">150<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-label\">Sisters' Area<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-card\">\r\n <div class=\"stat-icon\">\r\n <i class=\"fas fa-clock\"><\/i>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-number\">365<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"stat-label\">Days Open<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <!-- Mission & Vision -->\r\n <div class=\"mission-vision-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"mission-card\">\r\n <div class=\"mission-icon\">\r\n <i class=\"fas fa-bullseye\"><\/i>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <h3>Our Mission<\/h3>\r\n <p>To serve as a spiritual sanctuary that nurtures faith, promotes Islamic education, and fosters a strong, united Muslim community in Wolverton and Milton Keynes.
