يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ

"O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you."

Surah Al-Hujurat 49:13

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ

"The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers."

Surah Al-Hujurat 49:10

وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا

"And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided."

Surah Ali 'Imran 3:103

إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

"Indeed, with hardship comes ease."

Surah Ash-Sharh 94:6

Our Welcome

A way of life, not only a creed

"Islam is not only a creed to profess but also a way of life to live." That founding conviction still shapes everything at Camberwell Islamic Centre — from the five daily prayers held under one roof, to the counsel, classes and care offered to families across the community.

We cater for a large and richly diverse Muslim community in the Camberwell area, with members originating from many ethnicities. Whoever you are, wherever you're from, you are welcome to pray, learn and belong here.
