Masjid Ibrahim
History
The mosque opened its doors in 2014. The project started as a consequence of
the Gosnells City
Council trying to shut down the only place of worship in the south eastern
suburbs (Thornlie
Mosque). With the potential shut down of the Thornlie
Mosque, efforts were made to open another Mosque (Masjid Ibrahim) the council
agreed that Masjid Ibrahim be opened as soon as possible, so that they can
decide on the fate of Thornlie Mosque, and to ease congestion in
and around the Thornlie Mosque area.
Urban and Architectural
Masjid Ibrahim is a suburban mosque located in the southern part of Perth, Western Australia. It is located at the intersection of Southern River Road and Leslie Street. The building, designed by South African Architect Anwar Deedat, reflects modern and traditional architectural features.
Description
Masjid Ibrahim was self funded. The land was donated by the extended Patel family, as well as donations from the WA community. There were no real delays in building, the only exception that slowed progress was the constant theft, from the site.
