# Al-Farooq Education and Community Centre
Al-Farooq Education and Community Centre (AFECC) is a multi-centre Islamic organisation operating across five locations in Scotland—Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ayr, Ardrossan, and Daisy Street Community Halls. Based in Glasgow G42 8EJ, AFECC serves the Muslim community through religious observance, education and grassroots welfare initiatives.
The organisation operates functioning masjids where it facilitates the five daily prayers with published prayer times and Iqamah schedules. Beyond worship, AFECC runs structured educational programmes including children's madrasah classes focusing on Qur'an memorisation (Hifdh), Tajwīd, and Islamic fundamentals. Their Sisters Revert Class demonstrates commitment to supporting new Muslims navigating their faith journey.
What distinguishes AFECC is its integrated approach combining spiritual and community welfare work. Alongside regular khutbahs and religious reminders, they actively deliver food bank support, winter assistance programmes, hospital visitations and community clean-up initiatives. This reflects a holistic vision of Islam encompassing both individual spirituality and collective social responsibility.
AFECC's expansion demonstrates genuine community need—their Ardrossan project represents the first mosque for nearly 100 Muslim families in that area, currently under construction. The organisation actively fundraises through innovative giving schemes like Jummah Giving, encouraging Friday donations to sustain operations across all centres. Their partnerships with other institutions amplify their dawah (Islamic outreach) capacity throughout Scotland, positioning them as a significant community anchor for Scottish Muslims.
