Intro
The Darul Amaan Temple is a purpose-built place of worship in Manchester, England. Located in Hulme, immediately south of Manchester city centre, the temple is only a walking distance from the University of Manchester‘s South Campus. The temple was built in 2012, at a cost of over £1 million.
The land upon which the mosque is built on was acquired by the community in 1991. (See سلسلہ احمدیہ[Silsila Ahmadiyya (Continuation of Ahmadiyya)] (in Urdu). Vol. 4. Islamabad, Tilford: Islam International Publications. 2022. p. 79. ISBN 9781848802438. Retrieved 22 July 2025).
The TEMPLE was inaugurated on 27th April 2012 by Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the caliph of the Ahmadiyya Community with the unveiling of the plaque, along with a grand inauguration session with over 1,500 guests and dignitaries.

A major new mosque to serve Muslims across the region is set to open within weeks after a three-year building project.
The £1m Darul Aman Mosque in Moss Side, Manchester, will accommodate up to 1,000 worshippers.
Built to serve the revisionist Islam movement Ahmadiyya, it will be the sect’s second largest mosque in western Europe.
Work to create the new building, complete with domed roof and minaret, began three years ago, funded mainly by donations from worshippers.
The existing building at the site on Greenheys Lane has also been refurbished and incorporated into the new design.
The Ahmadiyya movement, which has around 1,000 members in Manchester, focuses on promoting peace and understanding between Islam and other religions.
Working with the motto ‘Love for all, hatred for none’, the mosque’s name translates as ‘abode of peace’.
Mosque spokesman Dr Imran Khan said: “This mosque has been built largely from contributions by members who are local residents.
“It is three years ago that work first started and it’s great the building is now ready to be officially opened.
“It will serve members of the Aamadiyya community and will also be used for interfaith and educational visits.
“We also want the building to be a symbol of peace.
“Our movement’s aim is to promote harmony between Islam and other religions and loyalty to the country we live in.
“We will also work with different organisations to promote peace so we hope the mosque will be a building for the wider Manchester community.”
Alongside religious services, youth and social groups, the mosque will also be used for interfaith events and conferences.
Regular blood donation drives will also be held there to encourage more people from the Asian community to give blood.
