In this well-researched book, Abdul-Azim Ahmed explores the rich tapestry of Britains Islamic heritage through a fascinating journey of its mosques. Since Islams early days, mosques have been central to Muslim spiritual and social life. This book provides a unique lens into their vibrant history and modern relevance in Britain and will encourage readers to learn further about the multi-faceted dimensions. * Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, educationalist and author * In this book, extensive ethnographic research and personal experience meets theoretical and conceptual agility. Ahmed has opened the door and taken us inside the world of mosques, while also situating them in spatial, geographic, religious, and historic contexts. As a landmark academic contribution to British Muslim Studies, I also congratulate him for offering an understanding of mosques that Muslims themselves can recognise. * Sophie Gilliat-Ray, Director, Islam-UK Centre, Cardiff University, UK *
