Zia-Ul-Quran Mosque was established in April 1996 to meet the educational needs of the Muslim community in Pollokshields (Glasgow) and its surrounding localities. The core work involves providing religious instruction in the traditional Islamic Sciences for children and adults in a way that is relevant to Muslims living in the West.The Muslim community continues to grow in Glasgow and young men and women often feel frustrated that they cannot participate in community issues. Zia-ul-Quran has been instrumental in providing the platform for young Muslims to express themselves as well as providing spiritual and educational guidance.Zia-Ul-Quran currently runs a number of projects. It hosts the five daily prayers and accommodates for fifty worshippers on average a day. Friday prayers at Zia-Ul-Quran attract over two hundred worshippers. Lectures are given in Arabic, Urdu, and mostly importantly English. Zia-Ul-Quran also hosts weekly gatherings for women. Football is also organised on a weekly basis. Zia-Ul-Quran is committed in bringing a social change to the local community.
