Mosques

Accra, the vibrant capital of Ghana, is home to a diverse Muslim community with a network of mosques and prayer rooms spread across the city and its surrounding areas. Based on available mapped records, there are 20 listed prayer places within a 50 km radius of the city center, reflecting a significant presence of Islamic worship spaces. These range from central locations like Opera Square Masjid, just 1.9 km from the city core, to more distant sites such as Bethlehem Central Mosque in Tema, 26.9 km away. The listings include well-known mosques like Abossey Okai Central Mosque, Abelemkpe Central Mosque, and Accra Furqan National Masjid, each serving local communities.

The implantation of mosques and prayer rooms covers several districts and neighborhoods across Accra. In the central area, Opera Square Masjid on Pagan Road provides a convenient option for those in the business district. Moving outward, Abossey Okai Central Mosque on Abossey Okai Road serves the Abossey Okai area, while Abelemkpe Central Mosque on Malm Road is located in Abelemkpe. The Fadama area hosts both Fadama Mosque and New Fadama Central Mosque on New Fadama Road, indicating a strong prayer-place presence there. Dansoman Mosque on Oblogo Road and Nyamekye Mosque on Abe Street further extend coverage to the western parts of the city. Other notable locations include Alhaji Banda Mosque on Kofi Annan Street, Swanlake Central Mosque on First Palace Close, and Umar al-Mukhtar Mosque on Okine Street.

Beyond central Accra, the mapped data shows prayer places in outlying areas and neighboring towns. In the north, West Africa Senior High School Mosque serves Adenta Municipality, while Otinibi Junction Mosque and Amrahia Zongo Mosque are located in Amrahia. To the west, Olebu Central Mosque is in Ablekuma New Town, and Masjid Al-Firdaws is in Ablekuma Fan-Milk. Further afield, Nii Boitown Mosque on Dzagble Street in Lapaz and Bethlehem Central Mosque in Tema expand the network. This distribution across districts such as Abossey Okai, Abelemkpe, Fadama, Dansoman, Adenta, Amrahia, Ablekuma, Lapaz, and Tema provides Muslims in Accra with accessible prayer options throughout the metropolitan area.
