About Abdullah Quilliam Society
"The Birthplace of Islam in Britain"
This is the official page of England's First Mosque & Heritage Centre set up by the Abdullah Quilliam Society (AQS)
Abdullah Quilliam Society Description
England's First Mosque was set up by Sheikh Abdullah Quilliam in 1887, Liverpool, England.
This historic Mosque was re-opened on the 27th June 2014 after 106 years of closure.
The Abdullah Quilliam Society (AQS) is a registered UK charity which was founded by the late Dr Mohammad Akbar Ali in 1997, who lived to see the reinstatement few days before he passed away at the age of 90. He along with Sister Somaya Macateer & Mr Galib Khan (current Chairman) along with a few other local muslims started the work to rediscover the hidden gem that lay dormant for more than a century.
This history was located in the Liverpool City Council registry office for births, deaths and marriages. This building was once the site of the historic first UK Mosque, Muslim community Institution and Dawah activities led by Sheikh Abdullah (William Henry) Quilliam. Staff at the registry office would often refer to the room where all the files of births, deaths and marriages were kept as “the little Mosque” without realising the significance or history behind it. So by an amazing coincidence of history almost every Liverpool resident for a century has visited this historic building and many have had their marriage ceremony performed in it.

Volunteers a mosque
اتمنى زيارة مسجد عبدالله كويليام في يوم من الايام
This is the first masjid in uk 1887 ma sha Allah
MashaAllah. We visited today for Jummah. We were hosted beautifully. We toured the building, stayed for tea and payed Asr before leaving. What a wonderful project. May Allah continue to support you and your cause and reward you for your efforts � Ameen.
Just had a great time at AQS, following in the footsteps of the man himself and learning more of his legacy which is in good hands.
It's a great experience and effort to save public lives at work, home and on the way.
Humbled. Felt like this place had some kind of connection with mecca and madina. Unreal feeling. Took me back in history, almost felt like time travelling. Only with the power of God this place was left untouched for 106yrs only to be found and remained back into the hands of the believers, once a majid...always be masjid. They tried to bury the truth, but truth will always prevail. Abdullah Quillam was way ahead of his time. Absolutely remarkable man who thought so well, though for the orphans, thought for the poor, built schools, and stood for people's rights and justice. This is what Islam is all about.
Doing a great job restoring Britain's first mosque and spreading the true word of Islam.
Amazing piece of history, so much to learn from. Just waiting for the full renovation to complete. Cant wait for the museum and heritage rooms.
I love the student accommodation!!
Well done to the Abdullah Quilliam Society for doing a magnificent job and bringing this gem of a building alive once again!!
Allhamdulliah , I was so so delighted to participate heritage day celebrations Programe, it was a great social gadaring in England First Mosque with verious community
Alhamdulilah what a beautiful part of our British Muslim history. The imaam has one of the most beautiful voices ever it took me back to when as at kaaba reading salaah ❤️
Abdullah Quilliam Society is doing a great job. Please come and join us and take the reward for akhera(hereafter). I would like to thank all the brothers and sisters who are working hard to make this project a success.
Best Wishes
Mumin Khan
