islamic artefacts
Discover history in the region's first Islamic Museum
Masjid Al Buraq proudly houses a one-of-a-kind museum featuring over 18 original artifacts from the Ottoman era. These priceless treasures provide a glimpse into the rich Islamic history, making this the only mosque in the UK with such an extensive collection. Among these artifacts is a 109-year-old key to the Kaaba, a symbol of deep historical and spiritual significance.
The museum aims to attract schools, community groups, and the wider public, promoting education and cultural appreciation.
funeral service
Burial with respect and dignity
To serve the community’s needs, we have built a modern Ghusl facility for the proper Islamic washing and preparation of the deceased. This essential service ensures that our loved ones are cared for with the utmost dignity and respect according to Islamic traditions.

Our marriage and Nikah services are conducted within the museum, offering couples a unique and sacred experience surrounded by centuries of Islamic heritage. We provide a serene and blessed environment for the solemnization of Nikah, ensuring that this sacred union is held in the presence of history and faith.
We are registered Blackburn Council and a registrar can attend the Nikah. We can also arrange catering.

Team Buraq
The team which brought our community together
Al-Buraq Masjid, located off Devonport Road, has been made possible through a monumental fundraising effort. Volunteers took part in sponsored cycle rides and treks across northern England, while donations from families and mosque members contributed to what has been a wholly community-led initiative.
