The At-Taqwa Centre is situated within the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham and was established in 2005.

The Islamic Centre has been primarily established as a place of prayer for all Muslims with no association to any particular ethnicity or background. Therefore, the attending congregations have represented the true diversity of the Muslim community making 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.

The Masjid is the centre of the Muslim community and plays a vital role in helping them to fulfil their religious obligations. However Masjid At-Taqwa aims to exceed the minimal requirements and provide a variety of services and activities that promote goodness in all its forms.

Masjid At-Taqwa is a non-profit organisation registered with the Charity Commission ( https://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/) registration number: 1118359.
