Abandoned Church Auctioned, Turned To Beautiful Mosque by Biodun556(m): 11:08am On May 17, 2022
Abandoned church left in ruins transformed into beautiful mosque and community hub



WalesOnline was allowed a first glimpse inside the newly transformed building ahead of its official opening in a few weeks. One area of the building will be used as the new Al Mutawa mosque, whilst other areas will be used as a community hub and a community centre.

CEO of Muslim Welfare House, Toufik Kacimi, explained the hard work which has gone into restoring the building, and explained exactly what the Swansea community can look forward to once it is fully operational.

He said: "When we first came in, it was full of pigeons, and dirt, and the roof was leaking. The whole building was in a terrible state. Half a million has been spent repairing and restoring the building which includes a new heating system and fire alarm system. The roof was leaking in three different places, and because of the storms, we had to repair it four different times.

It had been left to go to rack and ruin, with its condition rapidly going downhill. The Grade II listed Brynhyfryd Chapel, which was built in the 18th century and used a Sunday school for generations was in desperate need of some TLC when it went up for auction at the beginning of 2019.

Made of solid stone construction under a timber framed pitched roof with slate coverings, the historic building along Llangyfelach Road in Swansea, which still has many of its original features, went up for grabs for £100,000, with community leaders underlying the desperate need for it to be brought back into use again to prevent it from receiving unwanted attention and further deteriorating.

Can this be allowed in a Muslim country?
Can an old mosque be allowed to turn into church?

Most Churches today in Uk have been converted to everything the Church stood against from pub, to Mosque and all that that. It is unfortunate.
Inasmuch as it is buying a Church, Saudi will fund it. If they do not UAE and even big men in Nigeria will.
