Mission Statement
Madina Masjid is located in the town of Nelson which has a total population of around 30,000, 30% of which are Muslims. The town itself is in the North West of England and is located within a 1 hour’s drive of the City Of Manchester.
Nelson developed as a mill town in the industrial revolution and many of the mills and the terraced houses which housed the workers are still here today.
Spring Cottage (Former Groves Hotel) is a landmark building which is very much part of this history and important to the people of Nelson.

UKIM Madina Masjid Nelson
UKIM Madina Masjid Nelson is part of the UK Islamic Mission. The UKIM is one of the oldest nation-wide Islamic organization in the UK. It was founded in October 1962 on the initiative of a small group of Muslims who used to meet at the East London Mosque in a study circle. They discussed the need of forming an organization in Britain to convey the message of Islam in the West. Today, from this small beginning, the UKIM has expanded to about forty-five branches and circles in the UK and around thirty mosques and Madaris. The activities, which the UKIM is involved in, are diverse, from building new mosques, relief work, to Dawah on the Internet and youth work.
