History and Background

In 1998, a small church was purchased by locals who lived in the local Biscot area of Luton. The area of Biscot had a growing population of Muslims with no Masjid within their vicinity. The church was used as a Masjid until 2005 when it was knocked down for a purposely built Masjid to be constructed. Prior to Ramadhan in 2006, the new Al-Jalal Masjid was opened and serves a vast Muslim community that come from not only the Biscot area but also other areas of Luton to worship and attend the Masjid activities. Al-Jalal Masjid provides daily prayers, the jummah prayer, evening madrasah for children, regular Islamic talks and courses for men and women.
