In accordance with Islamic conception, the mosque is a Centre for worship, community development, and headquarters Muslims. Mosque is an important institution for Muslims. It is an institution that unites people, both physically and spiritually. During the time of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the role of the mosque was not solely restricted to religious rituals. Instead, it played a large role and covered the aspects of administration, economy, social, security, education, expansion of religion and so forth. This situation had made the mosque as a one-stop centre for the society. However, the function of the mosque has gradually eroded over the years.

In other words, the present perception of the role of the mosque is only as a religious rituals centre. Such notion poses a challenging task to the mosque management to restore its previous status and former glory. The Centre has been established to provide a common platform for mosques and mosque administrators in Ghana to be on single platform and to foster co-operation among same in restoring the previous status and former glory of the mosque, which included not only its social, spiritual and pragmatic functions, but also serves as an economic empowerment centre that contributes to the economic development of the society. The Centre is of the firm conviction that through targeted initiatives, programs and projects, mosques would be able to assert their role in partnering with each other to bring about holistic development to the Muslim Ummah in Ghana.
