IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST BENEFICENT THE MOST MERCIFUL

Milton Keynes is a new city located 50 miles north of London and is also equidistant from Birmingham, Leicester, Oxford, and Cambridge. It was in the late 90’s migrant Muslim communities from different nationalities including Sri Lankans started to move towards this city. As years went by the number increased substantially.

At present, the Muslim community is spread through out Milton Keynes but there is a limited number of Mosque or community centres to fulfil their basic needs of their religious and community activities. These community centres are either north or south of MK leaving a vacuum in central Milton Keynes, which has significant Muslim population and is growing in numbers faster than other local areas. As there isn’t a permanent facility to conduct five time prayers and other Islamic activities, we have been hiring church halls, schools and other local centres for Friday Jummah prayers, Quran class, Tharaweeh and other activities.

In 2004, few prominent Indian and Sri Lankan brothers decided to set up a charity that ultimately aims to create an Islamic centre to satisfy the needs of the diverse mix of Muslim communities in central Milton Keynes, which includes Indians, Bengali, Pakistani, Somali and Arab origin along with those of Sri Lankan origin.
