Established in the heart of the South Souths, in the Borough South Tyneside, we strive to make a positive impact on your life and our local community, and to provide a spiritual sanctuary where all people find peace, regardless of their background.
The backbone of the South Tyneside Jame Masjid (STJM) is our mosque which serves as a hub that caters to people of different backgrounds and ages in the Lawe Top, Woodbine, Laygate, and other areas.
As people of faith, we stand together to support each other against the ills of society. We believe that working closely together is the way forward in helping humanity. Sharing in dialogue and building good community relations is the key to promoting mutual understanding and sharing experiences.
Throughout the years, we’ve seen our community grow from a small group of a few families, into a diverse large community. We now serve hundreds of worshippers throughout the week by providing a variety of services including the five daily prayers, children makbat, adult islamic education, talks/lecture, funeral and nikka services amongst other training programmes.
