An-Noor Masjid & Community Centre

The story of the Annoor Trust is one of faith, vision, and perseverance. Its seeds were first planted in the early 1990s, when a devoted Muslim brother from Jamaica, Hajji Abdul-Samad Mustapha, became increasingly concerned about the condition of his community and the lack of direction among its youth. Guided by faith and a sense of duty, he gathered a small circle of friends in his home in Kilburn, North London. Together, they sought to build a positive path for themselves, their families, and their wider community. From those humble beginnings, Annoor was born. The congregation grew steadily, moving from Carlton Vale Centre, to Willesden Library, and then to Acton Town Hall as numbers swelled. Each step reflected the growing need for a permanent home - a true community hub that went beyond Friday prayers to address social, educational, and spiritual needs. Over the years, the community gathered in Bromyard Leisure Centre, then Janet Adegoke Leisure Centre, and once again at Acton Town Hall. Sadly, during this period, in February 2003, our beloved brother Abdul-Samad returned to his Lord. His passing left a great void, but his vision lived on.
