Masjid Umar in Leicester was built in 2000, funded almost entirely by the local Muslim community. Originally two residential properties, it was rebuilt to serve a diverse Muslim community in Evington. The masjid was shortlisted for the ACE/RIBA Award for Religious Architecture in 2005 and won the People’s Choice Project of the Year Award in 2003.

Masjid Umar operates entirely on charitable donations from the local community, supporters across the United Kingdom and overseas.
