    Our History: The Rise of a Landmark

    Jamia Masjid & Islamic Centre Slough stands today as one of the largest and most recognised mosques in the Thames Valley — a beacon of faith, learning, and community service in the heart of Slough.

    The journey began in 1982, when a congregational centre was acquired and transformed into a mosque to meet the growing spiritual needs of the local Muslim community.

    As the local Muslim population expanded over the years, it became clear that a larger, purpose-built space was essential. In response, the original building was respectfully decommissioned to make way for a new, state-of-the-art facility. Construction began in 1999 and on 18th May 2001, JMIC Slough was officially inaugurated by His Excellency Abdullah Sultan Al-Dhahiri, Director General of The Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation.

    Since its opening, JMIC has continued to grow — not only as a centre of worship, but as a dynamic civic and cultural institution at the heart of the community.

    In 2010, a modest extension was added to the rear of the mosque to include a small mortuary and a dedicated space for funeral gatherings. Recognising the evolving needs of our congregation, further enhancements were made in 2022, with the modernisation and expansion of the ladies’ washroom facilities, ensuring greater comfort, privacy, and accessibility.

    Most significantly, in 2025, the original mortuary was transformed into the JMIC Welfare Centre — a purpose-built facility offering a wider range of community services, including funeral care, educational spaces, and support services tailored to the needs of all.

    With its striking architecture, progressive facilities, and a commitment to service through strong local partnerships, JMIC continues to lead as a centre for faith, compassion, and community cohesion — serving a vibrant and multi-generational population with pride and purpose.
