Mosques

Philadelphia and its surrounding region host a diverse network of mosques and prayer spaces serving Muslim residents, students, workers, and visitors. Based on available mapped records, over twenty prayer places are listed within a 50-kilometer radius of the city center. These include well-known institutions such as Masjid Al-Jamia near the University of Pennsylvania, United Muslim Masjid in the Graduate Hospital area, and Bait-ul-Aafiyat Mosque (Ahmadiyya Muslim Community) in the Glenwood section. The listings also extend to neighboring communities in New Jersey and Delaware, reflecting the regional spread of Islamic worship spaces.

Within Philadelphia itself, mapped prayer places are present in several sectors. Masjid Al-Jamia is located on Walnut Street in West Philadelphia, while United Muslim Masjid serves the South Street corridor. Bait-ul-Aafiyat Mosque is situated on West Glenwood Avenue in North Philadelphia, and Masjid Ibrahim is found on Bennett Road in the Far Northeast. Bensalem Jame Masjid, though with a Bensalem address, is listed in Philadelphia's 19154 zip code near the city limits. These locations indicate a broad implantation of mosques across the city, from center city to the outskirts.

Beyond Philadelphia, listed prayer places are established in nearby towns and suburbs. In New Jersey, Muhammad Abdul Wahab Mosque is on Spruce Street in Camden, Imam Ali Masjid is on Magnolia Avenue in Pennsauken, and Masjid Free Haven Inc. is on Ashland Avenue in Lawnside. In Pennsylvania, Masjid Omar is on State Road in Upper Darby, and the Islamic Cultural Center of Willow Grove is on Easton Road. Further afield, mosques in Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Willingboro, Trenton, Ewing, Bensalem, Levittown, and Wilmington (Delaware) are also part of the mapped network, providing prayer options for those commuting or traveling across the region.

When visiting any of these mosques, it is advisable to verify the address and contact details directly, as opening hours and prayer times may vary. Some mosques may have dedicated websites or phone numbers listed in local directories. For those using GPS, note that some addresses may be in neighboring towns or states. Always check the specific location before traveling, especially for mosques with shared or multi-use facilities.
