The Vision
A Masjid in Its Truest Sense
A place of worship (ʿibādah) and an educational institution that stimulates and nurtures faith (īmān), beneficial knowledge, and its sincere implementation — producing model citizens. The MECA Masjid will be built in the southern suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, and will cater for:
Weekend School
Qur'an ḥifẓ, Arabic and religious classes for children every weekend.
Islamic Institute
Tertiary-level intensive courses taught by local and international scholars (ʿulemāʾ).
AMYN Library
The largest of its kind in Australia — Islamic and general books, audio and visual resources, in English and Arabic.
Tutoring & Excellence
After-school teaching and tutoring for Muslim and non-Muslim students to achieve intellectual excellence.
Literacy & Up-skilling
English literacy, numeracy and up-skilling classes for the disadvantaged.
Youth & Recreation
A youth educational and cultural centre with halal recreational facilities.
Master Plan
Three Stages to Build MECA
The project moves forward in three stages — from securing the land, to raising the structure, to furnishing it for the community.
Purchase the Land
A$1.5M – 2.0MSuitable sites have been shortlisted on the south side of Brisbane, where most of the Muslim community resides. Your generous donations will help secure one of these properties.
Construct the Masjid
A$1.0MThe MECA Masjid will comprise two floors, each about 1,000 m²:
Ground Floor
- Youth recreational facilities
- Large community development hall
- Kitchen, toilets and washroom facilities
- Wudu (ablution) areas
First Floor
- Spacious prayer area
- Library with a large collection of Islamic and other books
- State-of-the-art multipurpose lecture and conference facilities
- Classrooms with operable walls for flexible usage
- Office and meeting rooms
Furnish & Equip
A$150,000Carpet, bookshelves, audio/visual equipment, flexible classroom partitions, computers and more — everything that turns a building into a living centre.
Where We Stand
Project Status
Several suitable properties — land, constructed premises, even a church — were ready and available in the past, but were purchased by others before funds could be raised. Now another very suitable place has been found for A$1 million, and this time we want to raise the money first. You can help make this project a reality today.

Give for Allah
Help Build This Mosque
With your generous support, we can build this much-needed, multi-purpose mosque and education centre, spreading goodness from the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
“The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is as the likeness of a grain which grows seven ears, and each ear has a hundred grains. Allah gives manifold increase to whom He pleases. And Allah is All-Sufficient, All-Knower.”
Qur'an 2:261
“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him likewise in Paradise.”
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) — Sahih Al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim
