History

History of the Mosque: The Muslim community in Rockhampton, Queensland, has a history spanning several decades. Approximately 20 years ago, local Muslims established the Rockhampton Mosque, which has since served as a central place of worship and community gathering. The mosque's establishment was a significant milestone, reflecting the community's commitment to creating a dedicated space for Islamic practices and cultural activities.

Over the years, the Rockhampton Muslim community has been actively engaged in fostering unity and promoting understanding within the broader society. The Islamic Council of Queensland (ICQ), formed in 1984, serves as the central representative body for Muslims in the state, including those in Rockhampton. The ICQ provides various welfare and religious services, such as marriage celebrants and burial services, and represents numerous member organizations across Queensland. icq.org.au+1en.wikipedia.org+1 • Despite being a smaller community, Muslims in Rockhampton have demonstrated resilience and dedication to their faith.
