Nasir Mosque is the first purpose-built mosque in Hartlepool, County Durham, England built in 2005, located on Brougham Terrace. The mosque participates in several local community events and provides regular services for the wider community.[1][2]
History
The foundation stone of the mosque was laid in 2004 and inaugurated in November 2005 by Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.[3]
Inauguration
During the opening session, town dignitaries such as Hartlepool MP Iain Wright and Hartlepool Borough Council's chief executive Paul Walker were in attendance. As a gesture, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, the main organisation behind the project, donated around £20,000 to local charities and causes, including Hartlepool and District Hospice, Butterwick Children's Hospice and Brougham Primary School.[4]
Facilities
The mosque consists of two prayer halls for men and women which can accommodate around 500 worshippers. It also consists of a library, a kitchen, some offices and guest rooms.
