Glasgow Central Mosque — Attraction in Scotland

My ferry to one of the Isles in Scotland was cancelled and got stuck in Glasgow for 2 days. I was travelling from Leicester and found a cheap hostel at the city centre. I was pleased to find a central mosque to perform my salah as I could not do them at the hostel. I could also not drink tap water at the hostel as it only had water bottles to buy. But at the mosque they offered food for iftar and bottles of water. The first day, I asked for a bottle of water to take with me and they kindly gave it to me. The second day I was denied to have a bottle of water by one of the supervisors. I was surprised by her behaviour. I also explained to her that I wasn't a local and getting access to drinking water was not free or easily accessible to me living in a hostel. She still said no which is strange because those bottles of water were for guests who came for prayers and iftar anyway. I was offended and did not feel welcomed at Glasgow Central Mosque.

Another woman was not very nice. We were standing on a line for prayers and there was a gap between me and her. She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her saying that I should be standing on her left side. Now I had a gap on my left side. These gaps would have been filled up by other women anyway, there was no need to grab and pull me and talk in a mean manner.

I love Islam and I loved the architecture at the Glasgow Central Mosque but not so much the Muslim women I dealt with that day. There should be more compassion and...

This Mosque is an absolute gem in the heart of the city, offering a serene and welcoming space for worship, reflection, and community engagement. From the moment you step inside, the peaceful atmosphere and stunning architecture create a sense of tranquility.

The mosque is impeccably maintained, with clean facilities, spacious prayer halls, and a beautifully designed interior that reflects Islamic artistry. The staff and volunteers are incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist visitors, whether they are regular worshippers or first-time guests.

One of the standout features is the mosque’s commitment to inclusivity and education. It serves as a hub for interfaith dialogue, community events, and religious classes, making it a vital part of Glasgow’s diverse cultural landscape. The on-site library and Islamic information centre are excellent resources for those looking to learn more about Islam.

Accessibility is also well-considered, with designated areas for women, wheelchair access, and ample parking. The location is convenient, just a short walk from the city centre, making it easily reachable for both locals and visitors.

Whether you’re coming for daily prayers, Friday Jumu’ah, or simply to admire the architecture and peaceful environment, Glasgow Central Mosque is a truly uplifting place. Highly recommended for anyone seeking spiritual solace or cultural...

DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR.

These guys need some manners. Where's islam when it comes to manners guys? Or maybe it's because they do not care about the community, only status and worldly gains.

They ignore emails, messages and block Instagram accounts to those who voice their opinion on their bad skills of communication.

I queried multiple things, as have family members and friends. Each time, met with disgustingly rude responses.

Anyone considering entering islam or newly reverted, please go to al farooq or any other mosque to avoid an unprofessional and I'll mannered attitude.

No doubt they will try have this blocked and removed.

May Allah swt guide us all. So sad how bad these guys attitudes are. Maybe theres one or two good brothers but yet to encounter. Also, absolutely no women part of the team. I'm not a feminist but for real, I think you lot need to consider having a islamically well educated group of women as part of central mosque.

You rude guys who work here, just remember, you lot will be answerable to Allah swt for hurting any single human. Being rude is why I know of so many who have turned away from GCM.

Take it as constructive criticism and dont let your ego and pride make you think you'll get away with this. Remember what Allah swt says...
