Aslaam Alaikum. I am raising £1000 for Luton Islamic Centres extension. Don't miss out on this great opportunity. Insha-Allah you will be rewarded for every single Salah, every bit of knowledge, every bit of good that happens. This is what will help us in the hereafter. Help me and yourselves in this great cause. 

Brief history.......

In 2002 Luton Islamic Centre purchased a masjid. This was the culmination of ten years of calling to tawheed and sunnah. Our call to the Quran and Sunnah met a positive response from many in the Luton community, particularly the youth. Our range of knowledge based activities for brothers, sisters, and children is designed to educate our future generations of Muslims.

Despite the growing popularity of our dawah, the masjid can only accommodate 350 worshippers. On the day of Jummah the masjid is full and many worshippers pray outside on the street and fill the corridors and entrances and many are not able to attend the prayer.

For the last 23 years we have served the local community through our various provisions including:
We therefore need your support to help us raise £145,000 in order to complete phase 2 of the extension project. We will build two additional mezzanine floors that will triple the capacity to 1000 worshippers (including sisters). This will enable us to reach out to a much wider audience particularly at Jummah and during the month of Ramadaan. At least once a year, the renovated building will act as a national conference centre.

  • the five daily prayers
  • a separate prayer and ablution facility for women
  • weekly Friday sermons in the English language
