Shahjalal Mosque and Islamic Centre

In the year 1967 the Muslim community of Bangladeshi origin (then East Pakistan) living in Manchester and adjoining towns decided to establish a Mosque and purchased a building at 1A Eileen Grove, Rusholme, Manchester, previously owned by Maclaren Public Institute. Soon afterwards the Mosque started functioning in the said premises. At a public meeting in May 1975, it was decided to call the building “Shahjalal Mosque and Islamic Centre”.
The aim and objective of the Mosque is to advance the Islamic faith of the Muslims community through facilitating prayer, education, Islamic teachings, religious services and social awareness.
