Ar Rukun Mosque
History
Established back in 1994, the Ar-Rukun Mosque became the new congregating place for Muslims in the area, who used to get together at a school canteen in Cooloongup. History of the Ar-Rukun Mosque dated back to 1994 when a group of migrant Muslims residing in Perth started an association to look into the planning and construction of a mosque where Muslims in the area could congregate. It was a massive effort by these pioneers who not only possessed the drive and determination but also made personal sacrifices to ensure their dream became a reality. On 23 June 1995, Ar-Rukun Harmony Incorporated was registered. Through their hardwork, dedication in raising funds and their strong determination and resilience in overcoming obstacles, the Ar-Rukun Mosque was finally built. 1998 marked the official opening of the Ar-Rukun Mosque at 4 Attwood Way Rockingham.
Urban and Architectural
At present, the mosque is also undergoing massive upgrading to extend the prayer hall to accommodate the increasing jemaah. At the same time, other facilities are also being improved. This will not be possible without the support of the community. Over the years, the demography of Perth, and specifically in the Rockingham and Kwinana suburbs has changed. There is an increasing number of Muslim families settling down in Perth’s south. The demand for the facility of this place of worship is more than before. Over the years, the various committees have adapted to these changes through various improvements and upgrading work. The strong spirit of community by the pioneers acts as a motivation as the the present community continues to strive for the betterment of the Muslims in general.
