Worthing Mosque

Worthing, GB

In 1994 the premises on Ivy Arch Road were purchased, planning permission obtained and a new Worthing Islamic Cultural Centre was born and was named ???Masjid Assalam???. An Imam was appointed as our spiritual leader to lead all the prayers and to offer Islamic lessons to children as well as adults. Originally only the upstairs portion of the Centre was used for day to day activities of the Society. Slowly but surely, due to growing population and demand the downstairs portion was refurbished in 2005 and now forms the main prayer space.
