The Bait’ul Futuh Mosque (Engl.: House of Victories) is the largest mosque in Western Europe. It was built by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 2003. It is in the south-west London suburb of Morden.
The Bait’ul Futuh Mosque organises several events to serve Muslims and the wider community. Other than holding regular prayers, its services to the wider community include annual Peace Conferences, School tours and local community events such as the ‘Merton Youth Partnership Annual Conference.’ and hosting the BBC Radio 4 Programme ‘Question time?’
The Baitul Futuh Mosque has also been acting as the center for the ‘Loyalty, Freedom and Peace Campaign’ in order for the west to recognize Islam as a peaceful religion and to improve the Integration of Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
The Mosque has also been voted in the top 50 buildings in the world by Spectator magazine
