Mosques

Lagos, Nigeria's bustling commercial capital, is home to a vibrant Muslim community with prayer facilities spread across the city and its outskirts. Based on available mapped records, there are 20 listed prayer places within a 50 km radius of central Lagos. These include mosques in central Lagos itself, as well as in the densely populated mainland areas of Surulere, Mushin, Oshodi, and Ikeja. The data shows a notable concentration of prayer spaces in the Ikeja area, including Al-Sunnah Mosque on Simbiat Abiola Way, Al-Khaer Central Mosque on Seriki Aro Avenue, and Alausa Central Mosque on Jogunosimi Street in Oregun. Other areas with listed mosques include Somolu (Allah Inanah Masjid), Isolo (Ani Baba Masjid), Ejigbo (Alhaja Abeebat Masjid), and Ijegun in Ikotun (Alhaja Rabiat Masjid).

Beyond Lagos State, the mapped records also include several mosques in Ifo, Ogun State, located about 45–47 km away. These include Alaja Central Mosque, NASFAT Prayer Center in Akinsinde, and Ahlus-Sunnah Central Mosque in Oke-nla Village. This indicates that Muslims living or traveling in the border areas between Lagos and Ogun have access to prayer facilities in both states. Within Lagos itself, the listed mosques cover a wide geographic spread, from Surulere (Abebe Mosque) and Amukoko (Alhaji Lazeez Ojora Central Mosque) in the south, to Akoka (Akoka Central Mosque) in the north, and Ikorodu (Abdullah Mosque) in the east. This distribution suggests that prayer spaces are available in many of Lagos's key residential and commercial districts.

For Muslims living in or visiting Lagos, the presence of these listed mosques across various neighborhoods provides multiple options for daily prayers and community gatherings. The data includes mosques in both central and peripheral areas, making it easier for residents and travelers to find a prayer place nearby. While this list is based on available mapped records and may not include every mosque in the city, it offers a useful starting point for locating prayer facilities in Lagos and its environs. Whether you are a new arrival, a student, a worker, or a family, these listed mosques can help you connect with the local Muslim community.
