# Baytus Salaam
Baytus Salaam, formerly known as the Dacorum Bangladeshi Welfare Association, is a community-focused Islamic organisation based in Hemel Hempstead that has been serving the local Muslim population since 2005. The organisation is currently undergoing a rebrand to reflect its expanding remit beyond its original Bangladeshi community roots.
The organisation primarily serves the diverse Muslim community in Hemel Hempstead and surrounding areas through religious and community support services. They facilitate daily Islamic worship, organising five daily prayers with both beginning times and congregation (jamaat) times clearly communicated to worshippers. Friday prayers (Jummah) are held at Highfield Community Centre, serving as an important weekly gathering point for the community.
What distinguishes Baytus Salaam is their commitment to accessibility and modernisation. They provide mobile-friendly prayer time information, allowing worshippers to access salaat schedules conveniently via their phones. The organisation is actively fundraising to support their new premises and expand their community services beyond traditional religious activities.
The organisation demonstrates strong community engagement through their social media presence, particularly Facebook, where they maintain regular contact with followers. Their transition from a Bangladeshi-specific welfare association to the more inclusive Baytus Salaam brand signals their evolution into a broader community hub for the local Muslim population.
They are transparent about their operations and maintain professional governance through published privacy policies and terms of use.
