Masjid Talha
Masjid Talha is located in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, UK. Established in Sha'bān 1432 (July 2011), here at Masjid Talha we work to develop Islamic values to help build a strong, connected society through worship, education, and support. Alongside daily prayers, we hold regular classes for both children and adults, and produce material to advance our values and educate.
Masjid Talha is based in the Northfields area of Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. It serves residents in the vicinity, as well as students attending the nearby Kirklees College, less that 10 minutes walking distance from the Masjid.
In June 2011, a group of residents came together in an effort to establish a Masjid for the local community. An existing hall was purchased in Sh'aban 1432 (July 2011) and adapted to accommodate 5 daily salah and provide evening classes for children.
Today, Masjid Talha hosts 5 daily salah and Jumua. Short courses are also occasionally held for mature students. Alongside daily prayers and classes, the Masjid has a variety of activities including:
· Developing a passion for civic participation (Visiting elderly, sick, neighbourhood cleaning etc).
· Providing humanitarian assistance to victims of natural disasters.
· Promoting good-relations between members of different faiths and backgrounds.
