Jamee Masjid, in Bletchley, first opened its doors in 1977. Back then it was just a one-house conversion at 52 Duncombe Street. Since then, the community has gone from strength to strength, masha'Allah. In the following years, both numbers 48 and 50 Duncombe Street were also purchased and the masjid was expanded further.
With an ever-increasing Muslim population in the south of Milton Keynes, Jamee Masjid has seen a dramatic increase in the number of worshippers attending, especially for the Friday prayers.
The Muslim community in Bletchley is predominantly Bangladeshi and the Khutbahs are in Bengali.
A large courtyard, recently built outside, provides enough space for everyone, even when the masjid itself is full.
The Masjid has three different areas for praying. There is no area for sisters to pray.
There is no car park on the masjid grounds itself, but there is a large car park nearby at Sainsbury's, which will set you back 40p for two hours or £1 for an all-day ticket.
There is now a tent/canopy in the courtyard and there are further plans to extend the Masjid inshaAllah.
