About
Asalamualikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, may the peace and blessings of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala be upon you, and welcome to Green Lane Masjid & Community Centre (GLMCC). We sincerely hope and make dua that Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala counts your efforts and deeds on your scale of good deeds and may He Subhanahu wa ta'ala keep us all firm on the haq and on the straight path.
Introduction to GLMCC
This character filled and colourful local landmark first opened its doors as the Green Lane Masjid in 1979. A time when an unsettled, fledging Muslim community urgently required a social and spiritual centre for gatherings, festivals, religious education and worship.
Significantly this joyous opening marked the beginning of GLMCC’s neighbourly pursuits to act as an interface with the wider community, to help people improve their understanding of Islam and to contribute towards the betterment and prosperity of the people of Small Heath.
Situated in the heart of Birmingham in a thriving community that is diverse in ethnicity and rich in culture, GLMCC has firmly established itself as a leading Masjid and as a result it managed to reach the runners up final for UK Model Mosque Award in 2007.
