No Masjid in ToowoombaNo Masjid in Toowoomba
The nearest Mosque is in Brisbane (120km). All Muslims in the city/region worship in a temporary
facility provided by the USQ which is old and inadequate to meet the current and future needs.
Muslims are in an urgent need for a Mosque of their own. IST, a government registered non-profit Islamic
organisation, has decided to purchase a property to meet the growing need of a Mosque in the city.
IST has initiated a major fundraising at home and abroad.
