Jaffaria Islamic Centre – The Heart of Manchester’s Shia Community

Located at 404 Moss Lane East in Rusholme, Manchester, Jaffaria Islamic Centre holds a distinguished place as the oldest Shia Imambargha in Manchester and the Markazi (central) Imambargha of the city. With deep roots in the rich traditions of Shia Islam, it has long stood as a beacon of faith, unity, and service for generations of Shia Muslims in the region.
