Key

The above downloads show various bits of information about a masjid in as few characters as possible. Below is a key to this information. We suggest you print this page out and keep it with your GPS device.

A masjid is shown as: [Information]Name where information will have the following, if known:

  • Capacity
  • Women facilities - W (Women's facilities available) or NoW (No Women's facilities available)
  • Usage (if not full time mosque) - J (Used for Jumu'ah only), NJ (No Jumu'ah held here. May be held nearby), Irreg (Not open for all 5 prayers)
  • multi - multi-faith prayer room or hired hall
  • Theme - Arab (Arab mainstream), Deob (Deobandi), Maud (Maudoodi), Salf (Salafi), Shia, Brel (Bareilvi), Sufi (Sufi, exc. Bareilvi). See the notes for more information about these.
  • Management - Arab, Bang (Bangladeshi), Guje (Gujerati), Paki (Pakistani), Stud (Students), Tami (Tamil), Turk (Turkish). See the notes for more information about these.
If the line starts with a *, that means its location is within a few metres. If it starts with a ?, it means the location is not precise enough to navigate to, since it may be off by over 100m. Also, if the text inside the square brackets starts with a ?, this means the information may have some inaccuracies.

Here is an example:
*[?600NoWBrel]Seven Kings Mosque, Muslim Education Trust
This is a Bareilvi-themed masjid with a capacity of 600 with no women's facility. Its location is precise, but some of the information (name, capacity etc) may be innaccurate.
