The Bradford Grand Mosque, or Al-Jamia Suffa-Tul-Islam Grand Mosque, is the largest mosque in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.[1][2]

It was founded in 1983,[3] building began in 2002 and it opened in 2012 or 2014.[4][5] It can house 8,000 worshippers and is one of the largest mosques in the United Kingdom.[1][4] The mosque was built on a filled in railway cutting which was part of the Bradford "Alpine" railway which ran through the Little Horton area of Bradford.[2][6] At a cost of more than £4 million, the construction of the mosque was paid with local donations.[5][2] In 2019, construction of additional buildings began.[2]

The Telegraph & Argus called it "one of the most architecturally impressive religious buildings in the city."[5]

In November 2018 the mosque arranged a march for peace in memory of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[7] In March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a funeral with around 600 people held at the mosque was connected to an outbreak of COVID-19.[8][9][10]
