Slough Jamia Masjid Ghausia

Jamia Ghousia Masjid (also written Jamia Masjid Ghousia / Jame Masjid Ghausia) on Diamond Road is the principal mosque of The Slough Islamic Trust, a registered charity (number 1191187). The Trust was established between 1967 and 1969 with the aim of founding a mosque in Slough. It began by buying and converting a house at the junction of Montem Lane and Arthur Road, which became the town's first mosque.

In 1983 the Trust leased a plot of land on Diamond Road from Slough Borough Council, and the foundation stone for the new purpose-built mosque was laid on 8 May 1983. The Jamia Masjid Ghousia was completed in 1985, built with initial community funding and, according to the Trust, without bank loans.

Today the Trust oversees two mosques — Jamia Ghousia Masjid on Diamond Road and the Montem Lane Mosque (35 Montem Lane, Slough, SL1 2QW) — along with a madrassa/education centre in the Manor Park area of Slough. The institutions hold the five daily prayers, the weekly Friday (Jummah) prayer, Tarawih prayers in Ramadan and the two annual Eid prayers.

Alongside worship, the Trust provides Islamic education for children between the ages of 5 and 16, as well as teaching for anyone who seeks it, and carries out charitable work including distributing zakat to feed the hungry and relieve the poor. The mosque serves Slough's Sunni (Barelwi tradition) Muslim community, which is largely of Pakistani heritage.
