Mosques

Kumasi, the cultural heart of the Ashanti Region, is home to a growing Muslim community supported by a network of prayer places. Based on available mapped records, there are 20 listed mosques and prayer rooms within a 50 km radius of the city centre. These include well-known landmarks such as the Kumasi Central Mosque on Yaa Asantewa Road, the KNUST Islamic Center serving the university community, and Moshie Zongo Mosque in the historic Zongo area. Other notable listed mosques include Old Suame Central Mosque, Sawaba Central Mosque, and Tafo Central Mosque, reflecting the spread of Islamic worship spaces across different neighbourhoods.

The mapped data indicates that prayer places are established in several districts and sectors of Kumasi. In the central area, the Kumasi Central Mosque and several smaller mosques are located near major roads like Yaa Asantewa Road and Kofi Genfi II Road. The Zongo communities, including Moshie Zongo and Sawaba, have their own central mosques. Further out, areas such as Suame (Old Suame Central Mosque), Dichemso, Oforikrom, and Tafo are served by listed prayer rooms. The KNUST campus hosts the Islamic Center, while Katanga Masjid on Brunei Road and Darul Hijira Masjid add to the city's Islamic infrastructure. Even nearby towns like Agona, Beposo, and Afrancho have central mosques listed, showing the reach of prayer facilities beyond the city limits.

For Muslims living in or visiting Kumasi, this network of prayer places provides accessible options for daily prayers and community gatherings. The presence of multiple mosques in the Zongo areas, university zones, and residential districts like Asabi and Dichemso means that worshippers can find a mosque within a short distance in many parts of the city. New arrivals, students at KNUST, and travellers will find the Kumasi Central Mosque and the KNUST Islamic Center particularly prominent. The listings also include mosques in nearby towns such as Agona, Beposo, and Asamankama, extending the coverage for those commuting or living in the greater Kumasi area.

The listed prayer places include addresses and distances from the city centre. For accurate location and prayer times, verify details directly with the mosque or use local maps.
