The Al-Rahma Mosque (Шаблон:Lang-ar) is a mosque located on Hatherley Street in Toxteth, Liverpool, England, which can accommodate between 2,000 and 2,500 people[1] and serves as the main place of worship and focus point for Liverpool's Muslim population, estimated at 25,000 people.[2]

Background

The Liverpool Muslim Society, founded in 1953 by the late Al-Haj Ali Hizzam, a member of Liverpool's Muslim Community, and originally operated from a room in his house, is based at the mosque.[3]

The current mosque was built in 1974, having taken 10 years to get approval from the city's planning department.[4]

Today

The current building is used primarily by the city's Yemenis, Syrians, and Somali populations who constitute the vast majority of Liverpool's Muslim population.[5]
