Baitus Salaam Mosque
The Baitus Salaam (English: House of Peace)[1] is a mosque in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England and is the first purpose-built mosque of its kind to be built in the town.[2] It was inaugurated on June 17, 2023 and can accommodate 250 worshippers, and built with a library and a community hall.[3]
Inauguration
Over 200 people attended the inauguration of the new mosque, including religious leaders (including the head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community - Mirza Masroor Ahmad) local MPs and members of the armed forces.[1]
History
The land upon which the mosque was built on was previously a bungalow which was acquired 20 years ago, back in 2002.[3] During that time it served as a mission house for the community.[4] Overtime, the community accumulated funds by itself to expand and convert the area, as the bungalow soon proved to be insufficient.[3]
In 2016, a proposal for a purpose-built mosque was submitted to the council, which was initially objected to by the local community as 37 letters of objections were sent.[5] Following approval by the council the existing bungalow was demolished,[1] two years later, in 2018, the foundation stone was laid for the mosque.[4]
