Masjid e Salaam aims and objectives are to promote, encourage and advance the activities of the Fulwood Muslim Community, according to the Holy Qur’an (The word of Allah) and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) showed to us by the righteous scholars. It is also the policy of the Mosque to allow people from all ethnic and religious backgrounds to use the facilities that it provides. The Mosque aims to provide a place of worship in an Islamic environment for individuals and families, authentic Islamic education, da’wah programs for promoting understanding and propagation of Islam, a source of reference and support system for the community, and develop and implement all such Programs within its resources that promote these objectives.
