Barking, United Kingdom
Masjid At-Taqwa is a Mosque and Islamic Centre in Barking, Essex (UK) which was established in 2005.
The Masjid has been primarily established as a place of prayer for all Muslims with no association to any particular ethnicity or background. As a result the attending congregations have represented the true diversity of the Muslim community making Masjid At-Taqwa a tremendously inclusive and welcoming place.
As well as catering for various cultural backgrounds, There is significant representation from women in the Masjid. Women play a vital role in Masjid At-Taqwa which is important given that few Masaajid in Barking cater for them, especially during the holy month of Ramadaan and the Friday prayer. The women are heavily involved in all aspects of Masjid activities and provide great support to the community.
