As we known, the Mosque plays an important role for all of Muslim’s activity. Mosques have not only played a vital and meaningful role as the focus of religious activities, but also as centers for social and educational programs. In addition, the mosque stands as an important build work of Muslim identity and community integrity.
Our own history proves that Mosque building is a basic foundation in forging the unity of the Muslim community. When Rasulullah migrated and arrived in Madinah (hijrah from Makkah to Madinah), one of the first things that he did was to build a Mosque, i.e. Nabawi Mosque. The azan and congregational prayers were established. At that time, beside its function as the main place for Muslim to serve Allah as His servants, the Mosque also became a place to make agreements, to make strategic war, da’wah, etc. Without the Mosque which gathers Muslims together, the ukhuwwah that is a religious duty cannot be achieved. Without the Mosque, Muslims cannot unite. The Mosque in Islam is a symbol of unity and progress of the ummah.
The Muslim population in Western Australia, particularly in the Bunbury district, is growing, and is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. Hence there is an urgent need and a strong rationale for a ‘place of worship’ to practice their faith, and to bring the community together. Since its establishment in Jan 1999, the association has distinguished itself with its large, broad-based multi-cultural membership base, community-oriented objectives and its deep-seated beliefs in Islamic norms and practices. The association’s leadership remains strongly committed to creating and fostering an all-inclusive environment where all Muslims will be able to practice the religion in accordance with the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW) (PBUH)
