We received this beautiful card and message from a kind soul who thought it important to reach out and show support to the Muslim Community.
We are extremely grateful and humbled every time we receive messages of support in difficult times. The wider Edinburgh Community is so diverse, welcoming and open minded that we are proud to be a part of it, and proud to call it home.
To our dear friend, who sent this lovely card, we had no return address but hope you may see our response via our social media and website – we’d love to meet you and welcome you into the Mosque.

The Mosque’s Year Review 2016
We are pleased to publish our year review here. By December 2015 , ECM employed a new director, Imam and Facilities Manager to bring in a new team responsible for the mosque. Team work, transparency and consultation facilitated the gradual expansion of the staff base to cover the work areas of: Support, Aid and Admin. The new structure enabled a diversity of volunteers to enrich the mosque’s services in a range of areas such as: women, children, youth, education, recreation, gardening and health & wellbeing.
Over the year, we hosted 105 groups and a total of 2664 visitors to the mosque. We have introduced four fully fledged educational courses of study for adults, designed a curriculum for the Mosque school, liaised with 61 institutions, engaged over 25 interfaith activities and participated in 13 official governmental meetings.
