From our community

I love coming to this mosque even outside of prayer times. It’s so hard to be in touch with educated scholars and get the answers from the source. Alhamdulillah The Imam and Mufti in this mosque always happy to answer questions and give time.

Assalamu alaikum

Since 2007 this Victorian chapel on Old Commercial Road has been a home for prayer and learning. Daily salah, Jumu'ah and a maktab six days a week happen under its roof, with Taraweeh, iftar and community events through the year. Whether you come to pray, to learn or simply to look around, you are welcome here. Read more
