Harrow Central Mosque & Masood Islamic Centre is a registered UK charity and a non profit institution, primarily functioning as a Mosque where Muslims worship and a community centre where all are welcome.
The mosque was established in 1980 and from 1985 occupied a converted house on Station Road, Harrow. It later expanded to occupy the house next door but in this form it was still far too small to service Harrow’s Muslim community. As a result a new mosque has been built adjacent to the old mosque and was occupied in December 2011. The vision for the new building project is to provide a purpose-built mosque that will serve the needs of Muslims within Harrow and further afield.
7 years on, Alhamdulillah, HCM is not just as a place of worship. It is an educational centre and community focal point for Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
The Mosque:
The mosque itself has 5 floors. All floors are accessible by stairs and by lift for the disabled and elderly, there are two seperate lifts in the Mosque. One intended for Men and one intended for Women which leads directly into the Womens prayer hall.
Basement:
The basement of the Mosque features a small car park for the imam’s and employees of the Masjid. Unfortunately it is too small to open for public use. Click here to see where you can park nearby to HCM.
Since 2017 Harrow Central Mosque has successfully started FREE Funeral Services, the Mortuary is located on the basement and has the facility to store 3 bodies at anytime. There is also a quiet room in the basement for the use of the loved ones of the deceased.

Our Values
Harrow Central Mosque (‘HCM’) was established to advance the spiritual and social welfare of people through the religion of Islam. The teachings at HCM have always been in accordance with the Aqida (creed) and fiqh (jurisprudence) associated with the Ahl al Sunnat wal-Jama`at and this is to be always preserved by the Management of HCM.
HCM aims to arrange, teach, and deliver Islamic education, as stated, in accordance with the traditional teachings of the Ahl al-Sunnat wal-Jama`a; notably from amongst the four madhahib of Imam Abu Hanifa, Imam Shafi’i, Imam Malik and Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal (Allah’s mercy be upon them all). Whilst all four madhahib are to be given the utmost respect, the prayer and worship as lead in the Mosque is primarily in accordance with the Hanafi Madhab as has been HCM’s practice since its establishment.
HCM celebrates many religious festivals including:
Milad un Nabi
Layla-tul-Barat
Miraj-un-Nabi
Yaum-e-Shohada / Yaum-e-Ashura
Mehfil-e-Zikr
and many more events.
At HCM, belief in the Khatum-e-Nabuwat (the finality of Prophethood of the Prophet Muhammed ) has always been, is to be and will always be preserved under all circumstances. To espouse beliefs in contradiction to this, that is, the belief that a later prophet(s) followed after the Prophet Muhammad , would cause one to fall outside of the bounds of Islam. This is unanimously agreed upon by all reputed Ulema (scholars) of Islam.
