Alhamdulillāh, we are pleased to announce that after many years of searching, we have finally found a premises to open a second Salafi Masjid in the Central/South Manchester area.
The search has been a long-term project beginning in 2008/2009 with a building on Wilmslow Road in Rusholme. We had proposals and negotiations on several buildings in 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2024… but Qadarallāh, none came to fruition. Most notably, in late 2022, we had agreed terms on a premises and were close to proceeding. However, it later transpired that there was a grave beneath the actual building. So, after consultation with our elders and mashaykh, we walked away. We thank Allāh for protecting us and granting us something better.
We are in the final stages with a new location, having agreed terms with the landlord and close to securing planning. We are just finalising administrative details before making a full announcement. To be realistic, the masjid won’t open immediately—once our building control application is submitted, renovations and setup will begin.
We will be launching a brand-new website dedicated to this project very soon. Once this is done, which is likely to be after Ramadhān, we will be able to start our fundraising campaign. We look forward to providing more details in the coming months, in shā’ Allāh. Please keep this project in your du’ās – Allah facilitate it and accept it and make it a means of good!

Support Markaz Rabee — Help Us Build Your Masjid
Alhamdulillāh, after years of searching, we have secured the keys to our new space. But the work is only just beginning. The property requires significant renovation before it can serve as a proper masjid and centre of knowledge for the community.
We are aiming to raise £70,000 for the full renovation of Markaz Rabee. Every penny goes directly towards establishing this space for the community, for the sake of Allāh. Just as we have established the masjid in the North of Manchester, we are aiming to do the same here. Allah grant us all success!
