About Us

Muhammadia Masjid, situated in the heart of Shaw, Oldham, Greater Manchester, is a mosque which strives to serve the needs of our Muslim community. Our community welcomes all to experience the beauty of Islam and find inner peace. It propagates the teachings of Islam and spreads the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him) according to the understanding of his companions and the early generations. It is located at 16 Rochdale Rd, Shaw, Oldham, OL2 8QX.

The mosque was established in 1998, in which time there was a great need for the local Muslims in Shaw to have a place where they could perform their prayers and practice their religion. The local community then managed to purchase a terraced house which we used up until 2024. However, due to the growing population of Muslims in Shaw, it was becoming more difficult to accomodate to the population in a limited space. This led to us purchasing the new Mosque building at 16 Rochdale Rd, giving us a new project with much potential to accomodate to the Muslim population. The current building requires alot of renovation and so your donations would go a long way in achieving this.

Due to the scale of the construction and renovation needed for the Masjid, we will require huge amounts of funding to renovate and maintain it. The responsibility of maintaining the house of Allah SWT is upon all of us, and there is great reward in doing so.

The 'Muhammadia Masjid' project is estimated at £500,000 for the first phase of work. The purchase of the building and the surrounding lands has cost £180,000 and further work needed is estimated at £320,000 for the first phase.

'Shaw' is a growing small muslim community in the outskirts of Oldham, Greater Manchester. Our goal in purchasing this building was to provide a comfortable and modern community facility for worship and be a source of pride for the future generations of Muslimeen.

We encourage you all to donate towards our project for Allah ﷻ to not just reward you, but to also put barakah in your wealth.

There are various ahadith in which the Prophet ﷺ says: “Whoever builds a Masjid for the sake of Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ will build for him a house in Paradise! By donating towards our project, not only will you be providing a place of worship to many Muslims, but you will also be laying foundations for your own rewards within this Dunya and the Akhirah.
