Banbury Mosque is a mosque located in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England.[1] In September 2008, the mosque was given permission to expand its size to allow women to pray separately,[2] however the expansion received some criticism from local residents.[3] In July 2009, Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, the Imam of the Masjid al-Haram, the holiest mosque of Islam which is located in Mecca, gave a speech in Banbury.[4] The Ash-Shifa School girls' Islamic school is located within the grounds of Banbury Mosque.[5] The mosque was newly rebuilt in 2012 by leading small-medium construction company Civic Construction Limited directed by Mr Wajid Ali.[6]
