THE FUTURE OF MUSLIMS IN NORTH NEWCASTLE IS IN YOUR HANDS!

"إِنَّمَا يَعۡمُرُ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَأَقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَى ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَلَمۡ يَخۡشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۖ فَعَسَىٰٓ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَن يَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ"
[ التوبة: 18]
“The mosques of Allah are only to be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer, give zakah, and fear none except Allah. It is they who are expected to be on true guidance.”
Surah At-Tawbah (9:18)

Our Mission

To establish a welcoming, inclusive, and purpose-driven Islamic centre that serves the spiritual, educational, and social needs of North Newcastle’s growing Muslim community.

Our Vision

We envision a place where:

  • Families can pray, learn, and grow together
  • Children and youth feel connected and proud of their faith
  • Sisters have space to thrive and lead
  • Neighbours from all backgrounds feel welcome

Why North Newcastle?

Despite the large and growing number of Muslim families in the north, this area currently has:

  • No mosque
  • No Islamic community centre
  • No dedicated space for Islamic education or events

Families travel long distances to access basic services — this centre will change that.

Our Journey

This project is led by local brothers and sisters who:

  • Have been serving the community through prayer gatherings, classes, and events
  • Organised successful Tarawih and Eid prayers in school halls
  • Are passionate about creating something permanent and impactful

With your du’as, donations, and support — The Light will become a reality.

Who we are

A group of ethnically diverse Muslim Men & Women, living in North Newcastle.
