Background
History
The mosque was founded by a small number of University of Aberdeen students and some local business people in October 1978. Initially the mosque was located in a small house beside the university. As the Muslim community grew bigger, several neighbouring houses were purchased to accommodate the growing number of worshippers. In March 2022, the mosque moved to a larger site on Frederick Street which serves as the Central Mosque for the Muslim Community of Aberdeen and its surrounding area. The site on the Spital is open and primarily used by students and nearby residents.
