About Us

History

Many Muslims have been in and around the Melbourne area for over twenty years. Prior to the establishment of the Masjed, the Muslims used to get together to pray in various locations in the City of Melbourne, such as the houses or apartments of certain local Brothers. With the constant growth of the Muslim community, it was decided to build a Masjed, a place where prayers could be held every day, at the five prayer times commanded by our LORD.

The Brothers began searching for suitable locations for a Masjed. Alhamdulillah, in 1988, some land was purchased in the most suitable area found, on the eastern part of Melbourne City, and plans were drawn up to build the Masjed. Construction actually began in 1990 and was completed approximately 3 years later. An “Open House” was held at the Masjed in 1994.

Mission Statement

We are driven by a vision to establish an exemplar masjid; to give Muslims hope for the future; to work with the wider community; and to re-establish the mosque as a community hub, open and accessible to all.
