History
Former Premises (1881-1987)
The building was originally the Coldhurst Church of England Junior School, dating back to 1881.[20][21][22] In 1963, the school converted to a Ukrainian Catholic Church, named after SS. Peter and Paul.[23][24][25]
Masjid (1987–present)
When the Church left the building for Northmoor, the British Bangladeshi community in Oldham purchased it and established the current Masjid in 1987.[26][27][24]
Extension of the prayer hall
In 2013, a plan for the extension of the Masjid's prayer hall and the allocation of parking space was approved.[28] Construction finished in 2014, significantly increasing the Masjid's capacity of worshippers. To cover expenses for the interior and ablution area, Madina Masjid & Islamic Centre launched their first fundraising campaign on Channel i during Ramadan.[7]
COVID-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, all mosques in the UK, including Madina Masjid & Islamic Centre, were closed. The Masjid opened again in July 2020.
