The Woking Muslim Mission was founded by Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din in
1913 at the Woking Mosque in Woking, Surrey. Its chief objective
was to present the religion of Islam to the people of Britain, to
refute the criticism of Islam and its Holy Prophet appearing commonly
in the press and publications, and to remove deep-seated misconceptions
about Islam and Muslims prevalent in the Western mind. The Mission
also served as the U.K. national centre for Muslims and Islamic-related
activities for over fifty years till the mid-1960s. The influence
and work of this Mission also benefitted many other countries all
over the world. It won a large number of converts to Islam in Britain
and elsewhere.
