ASSALAMU ALAIKUM · PEACE BE UPON YOU
Beneath the green dome on Bowesfield Lane, Farooq E Azam Mosque & Islamic Centre brings faith, learning and local life together in Stockton-on-Tees.
Serving our community
FAITH AT THE HEART OF OUR TOWN
Opened in 2017, Farooq E Azam Mosque & Islamic Centre is part of the everyday landscape of Bowesfield Lane, in Stockton’s Parkfield area. Its green dome, minaret and curved entrance give the building a character of its own.
Inside, worship and religious teaching sit alongside a wider purpose: helping neighbours learn about Islam and building understanding across the town. Those connections are reflected in visits from local school groups and Stockton’s shared civic life.
