Visit the Al Rahma Mosque Throughout the year we receive visitors from various organisations and establishments who travel from all around the world to see the mosque. A great deal of visitors are from faith, inter-faith and educational institutions wishing to further their understanding of Islamic lifestyle and worship. Guided Tours & Visits Ever since the completion of its construction, the Centre has achieved a very prestigious image in the eyes of the British people and British institutions. This is partly due to its central location and the wide range of inhouse facilities that we offer. The Centre is very popular and heavily booked for organised visits and guided tours. Thus it is part of our daily activity to receive school visits as Islam forms part of a World Religion taught in state schools as part of the National Religious Curriculum. This therefore presents the LMS with an opportunity to explain the many aspects of Islam to these students. These visits normally are organised on a prior appointment basis only by booking via letters or telephone calls, whereupon they are given a tour of the whole Mosque premises followed by a "Question & Answer" session lasting up to 45 minutes. Some schools may bring their own work sheet of questions for their students to go through with our guide. Various simple leaflets and Islamic literature are presented to the students if and when the needs arise.  School Visit In addition to students from secondary schools the LMS also entertains similarly adult groups of visitors from a wide range of background such as Social Workers, Religious Education Teachers, Health Workers, Race Relation Officers, University Lecturers and Students, and Lay Visitors alike. Popularity of LMS visits In 2006, the LMS received the visit of more than 100 schools. The average of visit is about 4 per week in peak time and about 1 in quiet times. This number is about to increase, as schools are very keen on feeding their students more and more about Islam, especially after the events of September.
