History

The Liverpool Muslim Society was founded in 1953 by the late Al-Haj Ali Hizzam, a member of Liverpool's Muslim community. The Society originally operated from a room in his house where prayer services were held. The Society office is based at the mosque.
The current mosque was built in 1974, ten years after applying for development consent from the city's planning department.
The current building is used primarily by the Liverpool's Yemenis, Syrians, and Somalis who constitute the vast majority of the city's Muslim population.
