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.
