Our Story
Established in 2016, SCMCC was founded to serve the religious, educational, and social needs of the Muslim community in Solihull and neighbouring areas. Since its establishment, SCMCC has grown into a vibrant and respected place for worship, spiritual development, wellbeing, and wider community engagement.
The property itself holds particular significance, having received unrestricted D1 planning permission in 2007 for use as a place of worship, educational establishment, health centre, or community facility. This allowed the Muslim community to immediately begin using the site as both a mosque and community centre following its purchase in February 2016.

Since the beginning of Ramadan in 2016, SCMCC has provided inclusive prayer facilities for both men and women, including the five daily prayers, Jummah prayers, Tarawih prayers during Ramadan, Eid prayers, and other regular acts of worship and spiritual gatherings.
SCMCC is also recognised as the first mosque in Solihull that employed a full-time Imam dedicated to serving and supporting the local community.
While SCMCC primarily serves as a place of worship, it is also much more than a mosque. SCMCC is committed to promoting understanding, dialogue, inclusion, and social cohesion, welcoming people of all faiths and backgrounds.
