Jemia Mosque

Spacious, clean and well ventilated. One of the oldest mosques in the city. Very well maintained and is a community mosque. Has a library as well as the horizon TV station and has a revert program almost daily plus multiple charity programs. Was interesting taking a tour around this mosque and meeting the staff of jamia mosque. Enjoyed the experience

One of the oldest, largest and grandest mosques in Nairobi. Or Kenya, for that matter. Has expanded and modernised over the years to include a library and learning centre. Prayer and ablution facilities for males and females available. Halal eateries available around the mosque.

Jamia Mosque is a mosque located on Banda Street, Nairobi, Kenya in the Central Business District. The mosque is one of Kenya's most prominent religious structures, and the most important mosque in the country. It was founded and first built by Syed Maulana Abdullah Shah between 1902 and 1906. He was a very pious man and up to today he is remembered every year by Muslims. The Mosque has been extended since its original construction.The Current Chairman Of Jamia Mosque Committee and the MajlisAlUlama Of Kenya is Sheikh Syed Fathahuddin Thangal. The Jamia Mosque retains a classic Arabic Muslim architectural style with extensive use of marble and inscriptions from the Quran, and the traditional row of shops including a clinic and pharmacy down one side to provide rental income for its upkeep. It is recognisable by its 3 silver domes, and two twin minarets. It contains a library and a training institute where one can learn Arabic, introductory computing and cloth making.

A nice peaceful place to pray for Muslims have all the resources including nice washroom a clean masjid carpet and we'll decorated .

A beautiful structure. Definitely worth my time and the walk to go see it. There were several merchants set up around the perimeter of the building selling clothes, food and other items. It's nice to see so many small vendors working so hard to make ends meet for their families. Though I'm not a Muslim, I have deep respect for the belief system, especially among those who practice the beliefs so faithfully. I've seen many mosques in United Arab Emirates and all of them have unique and beautiful features. LDS temples are similar, with lots of symbolic testimony inscribed around the outside and within. I hope to go visit the Hindu Holy Temple in Nairobi tomorrow to get some pictures as well, before I head back home this weekend.

The best Muslim mosque in the entire east and central Africa

A worship place situated in the CBD Nairobi strategic place to go for prayers a place that accommodates everyone

Biggest Masjid in Kenya. Amazing place. Amazing Imams and all. This place serves 1000s of Muslims in Nairobi and nicely positioned.

The rooftop of Jamia Mosque in Nairobi. Iconic place just adjust then to the McMillan Memorial Library and opposite Jkuat towers. It is an area mostly populated by the Islam as they access the mosque for prayers. During prayer hours it is advisable to be careful there many people and shoes are known to be stolen when you leave them outside the mosque.

Very clean and calm place of worship to our Muslim brothers and sisters
