DESCRIPTION OF THE RELIGIOUS SITE
DESCRIPTION
Birmingham Central Mosque is the second purpose built mosque in the United Kingdom, which was built in 1969 and opened to the public in the early 70’s. It is one of the most recognized religious buildings in the city of Birmingham and as a result, a vast number of people from different cultures and backgrounds visit the mosque on a daily basis.
HISTORICAL RELEVANCE
Central Mosque is the second purpose built mosque in the United Kingdom. After initially raising money to lay the foundations of the mosque, funds had run dry. There was the possibility that the city council would sell the land off to another buyer if the mosque was not completed within two years. Thus the mosque trustees went to local communities for donations, both Muslim and non-Muslim. Soon enough, sufficient money was raised to pay for the building and completion of the mosque in 1969. The mosque was then officially opened in 1975 as the largest mosque in Western Europe.
INTER-RELIGIOUS RELEVANCE
Since the mosque’s erection, it has become a focal point for the Muslim community. Over the years, Muslims have used the mosque for events, meetings, lectures, studies and community and educational purposes.
RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE
A vast number of people from different cultures and backgrounds visit the mosque on a daily basis.
