Masjid Al Ikhlas & Cambridge Islamic Centre is the result of the a local community project to provide essential services to the local Muslim and wider community, and to compliment the existing mosque. 

in consultation with the Muslim Community and with local service providers, such as social services, City Council, Education and Health services, Key services to be offered were:  Janazah services; talks; Women’s’ groups; youth groups; social space; Coffee bar; special interest groups; Jummuah prayer etc. 

In 2008 the search was on for a building with suitable features to use as a base and a facility to provide these services. Alhamdulillah, the property at 4 Devonshire Road became available and was attractive for it’s existing public worship building class, it’s versatility and suitability to be altered or improved, it’s easy transport links (with the Cambridge Rail station within 5 mins walk) and it’s cost in relation to similar buildings.

The CAMBRIDGE MUSLIM TRUST was formed as a Charity organisation to facilitate the purchase of the building.

Alhamdulillah, by Allah’s grace the community pulled together to purchase the building and the keys were handed over in November 2008.
