The As-Salafi Mosque, also known as the Salafi Mosque and as the Wright Street Mosque, is a Salafi Sunni mosque, located in the Small Heath area of Birmingham, in the West Midlands region of England, in the United Kingdom. The mosque was founded in 2002[1] and is situated near the intersection of Muntz and Wright Streets and just behind Coventry Road.[2]
Overview
[edit]The mosque is contained within the same building and connected to the registered charity and Islamic materials publisher Salafi Publications and the "Salafi Bookstore".[3]
According to the mosque director, Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid,[4][5][6][7][8][9] more than a thousand men, women, and children pray the Friday 'jum'ah' Prayers there, and the mosque also contains a primary school and an evening Qur'an memorization school.[1] According to mosque flyers, there are usually Islamic-based lessons every day of the week[10] as well as seasonal conferences[11] which can attract approximately 3,000 attendees from the UK and throughout Europe.[12]
Dawud Burbank (Abu Talhah) was a former senior lecturer at the mosque.[13]
As of 2012[update], the As-Salafi Mosque was one of one-hundred and sixty-three mosques in Birmingham.[14] It was also one of six mosques in the Small Heath Park area.
