Who We Are

Faith, Community, and Service

The Citec Estate Muslim Association (CEMA) is a registered community organisation serving the Muslim residents of Citec Estate and the broader Mbora District of Abuja FCT. We operate the Citec Estate Mosque at No. 1, E-Road, Mbora District — a masjid that has been the spiritual home of hundreds of families.

Our masjid hosts five daily prayers, weekly Jumu'ah, Islamiyyah classes, Tahfeez, weekly Ta'alim sessions, and a wide range of community services. As our congregation has grown, the current facility can no longer accommodate the community — which is why we are building a new, purpose-built Islamic Centre to serve generations to come.

Our vision is a permanent Islamic Centre encompassing a Jumu'ah Mosque, Islamiyyah, a Community Hall, library, Imam's residence, and commercial facilities — serving all of Citec Estate and the entire Mbora District.

إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ

“The mosques of Allah are maintained only by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day.”
