🕌 Mosques Near You

Find a Mosque Anywhere in the World

Whether you're traveling, moving to a new city, or simply looking for the nearest masjid for Jumu'ah (Friday prayer), our Mosques Near Me tool helps you find every registered masjid in your area on an interactive map. The map is powered by OpenStreetMap, a free, community-maintained geographic database with comprehensive worldwide coverage — including small neighborhood mosques that may not appear on commercial maps.

How to Use the Mosque Finder

1. Click 📍 Use my location (your browser will ask permission), or search any city by name.
2. Choose a search radius — 2 km, 5 km, 10 km or 25 km.
3. The map shows each mosque as a green pin. Click any pin for the name, address, distance from you, and direct links to OpenStreetMap and Google Maps directions.
4. The list on the right shows all matching mosques sorted by distance. Click any entry to focus the map there.

Mosques and Their Role in Muslim Life

The masjid (mosque) is the spiritual, educational, and community center of Muslim life. From the small neighborhood prayer room to the great architectural wonders like Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, and Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, the masjid is where Muslims gather for the five daily prayers, Friday Jumu'ah, Eid celebrations, Taraweeh in Ramadan, Quran classes, marriages, funerals, and community decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the mosque data?

The data comes from OpenStreetMap (OSM), which is maintained by a global community of volunteers and is one of the most comprehensive geographic databases in the world. Coverage is excellent in major cities and good even in rural areas — but if a mosque is missing, you can add it directly to OSM and it will appear here automatically.

Is my location data sent anywhere?

No. Your geolocation stays in your browser. Only the latitude/longitude (without any identifying info) is sent to the public Overpass API to query mosque locations.

Why are there no results in my area?

Try increasing the radius to 10 or 25 km. If still nothing, the mosques in your area may not yet be on OpenStreetMap. Anyone can add them — see openstreetmap.org.

Can I get directions to a mosque?

Yes. Click any mosque pin and use the "Directions →" link which opens Google Maps with turn-by-turn navigation to that location.
