# Masjid As-Salaam
Masjid As-Salaam is a Grade II listed mosque located in Earlsheaton, Dewsbury, operated by the Earlsheaton As-Sabeel Trust. Originally constructed in 1845 as a Church of England school, the building has undergone meticulous restoration to serve as a contemporary place of Islamic worship whilst preserving its Victorian heritage.
The masjid serves the local Muslim community and wider Dewsbury area, providing daily prayer facilities with live updated prayer times. Beyond worship, they operate an active community outreach programme including monthly food banks and school engagement initiatives, reflecting their commitment to supporting vulnerable residents across Earlsheaton.
What distinguishes Masjid As-Salaam is their integration of heritage preservation with modern community service. The restoration work has been conducted under strict listed building protocols in partnership with Kirklees Council Planning and Conservation teams, ensuring architectural integrity. The organisation demonstrates transparency through registered charity status (1200544) and maintains an active volunteer network.
Currently, the masjid operates under financial deficit and is fundraising for their "Doors to Jannah" campaign targeting £149,000 for essential window and door replacement to improve warmth and safety. The mosque is notably candid about needing 70 monthly donors at £30 each to achieve stability.
Their approach balances spiritual provision with tangible community support, positioning themselves as both a heritage landmark and essential local resource.
