Introduction
For the past 18 years the Muslim community of
Belfast has used a house converted to a Mosque for the
purpose of performing prayers, offering Islamic education
to our young Muslims, men and women’s study circles,
lectures and Islamic events.
Over the last two decades the Muslim population in Belfast
and Northern Ireland has increased dramatically to over
4,000 persons. Over 300 worshippers come together for
Friday prayers. They are accommodated in the Mosque, office
and anywhere else they can find space i.e. hallway, stairs
etc…, which is most unsatisfactory both for health
and safety reasons and to the growing community.
There is no community facility dedicated to the needs
of the local Muslims and the area is sadly lacking in
facilities for the elderly, women and our Muslim youth.
For us building a Mosque and Islamic Community Centre
is essential to the continued education of young Muslims,
help maintain Islamic values and give a better understanding
of our religion to the wider community.
New Mosque Project
We urgently need your help to meet the cost of the Mosque
and Community Centre.
We would urge the community members or anyone else to
contribute whatever they can afford and inshallah Allah
will reward you for your sincere donations. Your co-operation
is much appreciated. PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY.
Our aim is to propagate Islam and to provide the Muslim
community in and around Belfast and Northern Ireland with
a range of social, cultural, economic, training and educational
activities. We also aim to develop a greater self-confidence
through a sense of belonging, to affirm cultural identity
and plurality, to renew its enthusiasm for self-reliance,
to allow the community to be at one with itself in order
to ensure smooth integration and play a greater role in
the promotion of good community relations and the advancement
of a multi-cultural society.
