Madina Mosque (Accra) (Madina Central Mosque or simply Madina Mosque) is one of the largest mosques in Ghana located in the La-Nkwantanang-Madina Municipal Assembly. It is the main mosque in the district that congregates worshipers for the Friday Jumu'ah prayers.[1][2][3] Established after 1959, Madina mosque houses two schools; a basic secondary school offering secular education and a college that specializes in Qur'anic studies. Alms-giving is a common scene in the vicinity of the Mosque and researchers have often used the location in their case studies to try and understand the phenomenon of beggary in Ghana. [4][5][6]
