Welcome to Masjid Umar
The Masjid offers the five Daily Prayers (Salaah), Jumuah prayers, and provides facilities for the Madrassah.
Additionally, Masjid Umar welcomes school visits, hosts Nikah ceremonies and offers a variety of classes including those specifically for women.
Masjid Umar in Leicester was built in 2000, funded almost entirely by the local Muslim community. Originally two residential properties, it was rebuilt to serve a diverse Muslim community in Evington. The masjid was shortlisted for the ACE/RIBA Award for Religious Architecture in 2005 and won the People’s Choice Project of the Year Award in 2003.
