Repositioning mosques as social, cultural and political spaces, this book provides new insights on key contemporary debates, the religious identity of Britain, secularisation, the far-right and terrorism, and gender equality.Exploring the story of the British mosque, from house conversions to grand works of architecture, and the role they play in public life, Abdul-Azim Ahmed details the establishment of early mosques during the era of Empire, and the rapid growth in the years following the Second World War.Ahmed takes a sociological approach to this study, drawing on fieldwork and ethnographic case-studies, alongside reviews of databases and historical documents to provide perspectives on the British mosque from the congregants themselves. The Muslim congregation, a poorly understood and often overlooked dimension of religion in Britain, is examined, and issues of diversity, denomination, sacredness, and society are explored.

Wales is a vibrant multicultural and multireligious nation, home to one of the oldest Muslim communities in Britain, but the depth of the historic connections between Islam and Wales is less well known. In Muslim Wales Abdul-Azim Ahmed explores the stories of nine places which trace this shared history across centuries. The people, artefacts and buildings associated with each site, tell a story of cross-cultural and -linguistic influence, shared journeys and a history impacted by empire and colonialism. Fascinating, vital and beautifully illustrated, Muslim Wales furthers our understanding of this evolving story and how it informs our sense of identity and belonging. It will appeal to casual readers and those interested in learning about this topic in more depth.
