Planning ahead

With Allah the Almighty’s help, we aim to build a purpose-built masjid with an Islamic centre, where we can pray and serve the majority of our Muslim community's needs. Our challenge is to engage with young people who can use the centre not only for salah but also to encourage our youth to attend workshops and play facilities. A place where they feel they belong for education, library, indoor sports activities, and sisters’ fitness. A visitor comes where they feel welcome for a meet and greet, a sense of belonging, and pride.

A place where we can have great imam and scholars who can come and give Daʿwah, a community where we can meet with humbleness and our children to know what is most precious to us and our deen. A duah center where the greater community can come and visit to learn and ask about our religion.

£20k

Already raised

Through donations and interest-free loans

£145k

Still needed

To start the Ely Mosque Project

Our story so far:

We purchased a 4-bedroom house in 2019.
Due to planning restrictions, we are unable to build a fully functioning masjid on this site.
We now have the opportunity to purchase the neighbouring property that will remove the restrictions, allowing us to build our masjid insha Allah.
This is the only Masjid in approx. 20-mile radius in East Cambridgeshire.
The property will also provide a steady income to cover the Masjid’s running costs.
We have £310,000, and we need to raise £145,000 to complete this purchase.

Our Vison

Our Vision

With the population of 90000 majority from different faith group living in and round Ely we are very minority with 30-40 families ( and growing ) living round 10 miles radius. Our mosjid is the first Islamic Center in whole east Cambridge district council where we can come pray, educate, meet and great, community gathering and for dowa and charity activities.

Also an open invitation to a greater community who can visit and understand or embrace our great faith.
Once the mosjid and its centre finishes a complete place where our next generation of young and old can come and build bigger foundation for our religion.
