Help Europe’s First Eco-Mosque deliver community outreach and scholarship, led by our ethos of inclusivity, authenticity and compassion


Help Cambridge Central Mosque Spread Benefit to the World - Make this a Ramadan of Rahma

“The mosque is the workshop for the śalāt, the ‘Second Pillar’ which is the most important and indispensable Muslim rite, which five times each day, at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, dusk and nightfall, brings the community together to enact in a very embodied way the cosmic truth that all creation is indebted to God and is called to worship, love and remember Him.” - Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad

Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad, Chair of the Board of Trustees.

The Sacred Symphony of Nature

Just over 12 years ago, world-renowned scholar Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad (born Timothy Winter) envisioned building Cambridge’s first purpose-built mosque. 

His intention was not only to help shelter worshippers from the challenging natural elements but to also cater to a vibrant and diverse community in one of the world’s most iconic cities.

Cambridge Central Mosque (CCM) is a pioneer in conceptualizing a British mosque for the 21st century. Since opening our doors in April 2019 to 1500 worshippers, our guiding vision has allowed us to become a torchbearer for values that are simultaneously universal and Islamic: Sustainability, Environmental Stewardship & Community Integration.

“A Calm Oasis within a Grove of Trees" by  Emma Amina Clark.

As CCM approaches its 1-year anniversary, we urge the global community to join us this Ramadan and help spread these beautiful values around the world.

By assisting Europe’s First Eco-Mosque in Cambridge, you are supporting an institution that is dedicated to serving people locally and globally through our deep ethos of inclusivity, authenticity and compassion.

God is beautiful and he loves beauty - Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)
