Leeds Makkah Masjid

Alhamdulillah Allah Almighty has blessed us with an aesthetically magnificent mosque, of which the Muslim community of Leeds is extremely proud. Makkah Masjid has won many accolades for its beauty and arguably is one of the most striking mosques in the country.

Due to Makkah Mosque’s splendid exterior, from time to time television programmes and films include shots of the mosque without the knowledge of the management committee of the mosque, Leeds Muslim Council. The Makkah Mosque’s exterior has been featured in a movie called “Mischief Night” and most recently it was featured in the much publicised Channel 4 drama “Britz”. Unfortunately, those who produce such programmes or films do not consult with Leeds Muslim Council about the depiction of the mosque, as we would wish them to do given the sensitivities surrounding the issues many of these programmes deal with.

Accordingly, Leeds Muslim Council wishes to make it clear that it has not endorsed the use of Makkah Masjid in television programmes of this nature.
