A BRADFORD mosque has won two important awards at a national ceremony.
The Al-Mustafa Centre, established in 2002 in the Girlington area, won awards for ‘Best Madrassah Service’ and ‘Best Future Design’ at the fourth British Beacon Mosque Awards Ceremony.
The awards, which began in 2018, were developed to recognise the positive role mosques play in towns and cities throughout the UK.
The Al Mustafa Centre was nominated by the community across Bradford for the two categories.
The ‘Best Madrassah Service’ category looks to recognise mosque leaders and madrassah teams who have supported the development and maintenance of a comprehensive learning environment for children attending a Quranic madrassah.
The ‘Best Future Design’ is a new category for 2021, which seeks to reward mosque leadership teams who are building new, innovative facilities and buildings.
Judges were looking at new mosques that had been built recently or were in the advanced planning stage that showcase effective delivery of beauty, high-quality design, sustainability and that can encompass services outside prayer for the wider community.
