Dundee Central Mosque (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Dundee Central Mosque (also known as the Jamia Mosque) is located on the junction of Brown and Miln streets, north-east of the city centre. The original mosque was located on South Erskine Street in 1969, and was moved to 112-114 Hilltown the following year. In 1995, due to the islamic community growing in the city, there was a need for larger premises, which resulted in this mosque being built. The organization 'Muslims in Britain' classify the Jamia Mosque as Deobandi. It was the first purpose-built mosque in north-east Scotland, designed and built to face Mecca to the south-east. The architects responsible were Lucas Dow Design Studio. It is trapezoidal and constructed from smooth cream stone with a rounded copper roof. On each corner is a rounded tower, with a minaret and plain glass at the top. On the south elevation is the mihrab, a semi-circular projection from the wall, with a dome on top. Each elevation has groups of 2 to 4 full-length plain windows, arched in a rectangular frames. To the south-east of the mosque, at the other end of the car park, is the community centre. Entrance to the mosque is gained by the northern elevation where shoe shelves line the wall. The male prayer room is located on the ground floor. It is a large bright space, carpeted with gold coloured lines on a red background, indicating where each man should stand. The ceiling is panelled with wood. On the south wall is the mihrab, a semi-circular space with a pulpit for the imams. The bare walls are painted white, showing uniform ashlar bricks. There are book cases in the south and east corner of the room with prayer beads, wooden stands and a clock for prayer time on the southern wall. Outside this room, located in the western corner of the Mosque is the male washroom. Directly above the male prayer room is the female prayer room. It is smaller, but again with gold lines on the red carpet for women to stand on. On the south wall is a bookshelf with religious texts and toys for small children on the floor. A washroom is separated by a screen to the north/north-west of the worship space. (en)
丹地中央清真寺（英語：Dundee Central Mosque），，又稱賈米亞清真寺（Jamia Mosque），是位於蘇格蘭鄧迪的一所清真寺。清真寺原來建於1969年，位於南厄斯金街（South Erskine Street），翌年搬到希尔敦（Hilltown）。後來由於市內穆斯林人口不斷增加，需要一所更大的清真寺，因此動工興建了新的清真寺，並於2000年啟用。英國穆斯林組織「Muslims in Britain」把丹地中央清真寺歸為迪奧班迪派清真寺。 (zh)
