About us

Vibrant Scottish Mosques is a project that was created to highlight the importance of inclusivity of women in our mosque spaces at all levels.

It is unfortunate that many mosques fail to provide basic access for Muslim women to use the facility to pray or the quality of the space can often be inadequate and not suitable. It is also unfortunate that many mosques have limited, or no women present at mosque trustee or managerial level either intentionally preventing women from taking up these roles or not sufficiently providing a welcoming atmosphere where women feel comfortable to get involved.

There is a growing need for women to have equality within religious institutions that reflects the ethos of the Prophet’s (pbuh) mosque during his time and the requirements of our community. The place and role of women in mosques is in real crisis in the UK and elsewhere and this status quo must change.

We believe that a positive impact from the Muslim ummah to the rest of humanity will only happen when women are actively engaged and participate fully in their mosques and Muslim discourse generally.
