The Al-Rahma Mosque (Template:Langx) is a Sunni mosque located on Hatherley Street in Toxteth, Liverpool, England, in the United Kingdom. The mosque can accommodate between 2,000 and 2,500 worshippers[1] and serves as the main place of worship and focus point for Liverpool's Muslim population,[2] which numbered over 25,000 in the 2021 United Kingdom census.[3]
History
The Liverpool Muslim Society was founded in 1953 by the late Al-Haj Ali Hizzam, a member of Liverpool's Muslim community. The Society originally operated from a room in his house where prayer services were held. The Society office is based at the mosque.[4]
The current mosque was built in 1974, ten years after applying for development consent from the city's planning department.[5]
The current building is used primarily by the Liverpool's Yemenis, Syrians, and Somalis who constitute the vast majority of the city's Muslim population.[6]
