Since the establishment of Al-Hijrah Mosque, the Mosque has gone through numerous phases of development and progress. With recent developments at the Mosque, we plan to provide more services to the community; a recent renovation and the proposed Mosque extension means that the Mosque will accommodate many hundred more worshippers, also extend activities such as classes, meetings, talks and various events. Our aim is to provide a range of holistic, culturally sensitive services for the community of Birmingham, drawing on Islamic values and heritage, with a view to improving quality of life and enhancing community cohesion.
Our aims are to:
- Focus on the needs of the diverse Muslim community whilst ensuring services are open to all.
- Meet the needs of the local community by promoting health, education and employment opportunities.
- Provide Muslims and non-Muslims with the opportunity to learn and understand Islam, through dialogue, discussion and social interaction.
- Contribute to the social, cultural, spiritual and economic enhancement of the whole community, through policy and strategy development and service.
Al-Hijrah Mosque works actively to promote tolerance and understanding. Along with all the local mosques, we are a member of Muslim council of Britain (MCB) and UMO (Union of Muslim organisations) this binds together Muslims from different backgrounds and strands of Islam. We enjoy excellent interfaith relations - and the strength of these relationships has stood us all in good stead during the recent testing years. We regularly organise interfaith dialogue on religious tolerance with representation from all the major faiths where we also remember and pay respect to our beloved prophet Muhammad (saw).
Our Imam and community workers encourage constructive engagement in society and a rejection of extremism in all its forms. We unequivocally reject all terrorism.
