DESCRIPTION OF THE RELIGIOUS SITE
DESCRIPTION
Glasgow Central Mosque is the first purpose-built mosque in Glasgow. It works with other mosques throughout the city to help and represent Muslims from every background.
It is one of the most recognised buildings in the city and as a result, a large number of people visit it throughout the year, including the media, schools, colleges, universities and also individuals who wish to learn more about Islam.
HISTORICAL RELEVANCE
The majority of the earliest Muslims to arrive in Glasgow from India and Pakistan lived in Gorbals. The area had previously attracted waves of economic migrants from both Ireland and then later, Jewish communities, with many Italians also arriving in this period.
The Muslims steadily outgrew their existing places of prayer, progressing from Oxford Street through Carlton Place and finally ending up at the present purpose built four-acre site at 1 Mosque Avenue, which officially opened to the public on 18th May 1984 at a cost of over £3m.
INTER-RELIGIOUS RELEVANCE
The Muslims of Glasgow want a welcoming place to worship with compassionate and professional people helping to provide services that make the community proud. The Mosque works to empower the community by building a stronger volunteer base so the community can work together and help each other going forward.
RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE
The mosque strives to be the centre of Islamic knowledge in Scotland. With their experienced Imams they aim to provide multi-tier, professional Islamic education with classes for young children through to the elderly. By playing their part in the local and global community. They work to empower the community by building a stronger volunteer base so they can work together and help each other going forward.
