The past decade has witnessed substantial growth in the size of our community, worshippers attending daily prayers and children enrolled at our madrasah. Our growth has been further accelerated by the expansion of the university campus and the sprawling city centre both of which
are within walking distance.

This growth has had an impact on the services we provide, often resulting in overcrowded and cramped prayer areas and madrasah classrooms. These problems have been further compounded by changes in local fire and building regulations which render our current building ‘non—compliant’ in many of these areas.

A building complex and an adjacent plot of land situated 50 metres from our current location was acquired in 2007 and 2008 respectively for the sum of £595,000. These were funded largely by Qard loans and Lillah donations raised from the local community.

The madrasah welcomed its pupils into the newly refurbished block in September 2009. 

In April 2014 planning permission was granted by Preston City Council to construct a purpose built Masjid on the plot of land adjacent to the
madrasah block.

The proposed Masjid will accommodate up to 350 worshippers. It will have a provision for ladies and is designed to alleviate current capacity constraints, provide a better spiritual environment and will meet current legislative requirements.
