"Indeed, Allah loves those who do good"
Masjid Tawfiq was established on March 1st, 2013, to serve the growing Muslim community of Coventry. From humble beginnings—transforming a simple warehouse into a house of worship—our masjid has become a center for prayer, education, and community service.
The name Tawfiq (توفيق) carries deep meaning: it signifies success, divine guidance, and the enabling grace of Allah. Masjid Tawfiq is not just a place for prayer; it is a space where Allah grants His guidance to those seeking knowledge, worship, and unity.
"So remember Me; I will remember you"
The idea of building a dedicated masjid for the Somali Muslim community in Coventry began in 2005. As the Muslim population grew, so did the need for:
- A dedicated place of worship
- Islamic education for children and adults
- Culturally sensitive social services to enhance community cohesion
In 2006, the community united, elected a committee, and rented a hall for Jummah, Eid, and Taraweeh prayers. By 2009, with the grace of Allah, a permanent location was secured under a lease-to-buy agreement, and in March 2013, the masjid was officially purchased.
With the tireless efforts and generosity of the community, the warehouse was transformed into Masjid Tawfiq, complete with:
- A main prayer hall
- A women’s prayer space
- A library (Maktabah)
- A wudu area & toilets
- Classrooms for Islamic education
- A fully equipped kitchen
- A small hall for overflow prayers
