About Us
In the 1970s, Muslims arriving in Bath for study and work began praying in Mr. Diya Eddin Al-Muzaffar’s home, which was later purchased at half price to establish the city’s first mosque – the Al Muzaffar Mosque. Formed in 1983 by a diverse group of international students, the Bath Islamic Society has since united Muslims of all backgrounds under one roof and remains Bath’s only mosque today.
As well as the daily prayers, and Friday Khutbahs, our mosque also offers Quran and Arabic classes for children and adults, helping members deepen their understanding of faith. In addition to this, we actively provide various types of community events for all age groups, which are announced on this website, and on our Whatsapp group chat.
