[4] The Masjid occupies a prominent corner site in Green Lane, Small Heath, Birmingham.

One of the buildings was originally constructed as a public library and baths, designed by local architects Martin & Chamberlain and built in the redbrick and terracotta Gothic-Jacobean style between 1893 and 1902.

[10] In addition, GLMCC runs and participates in various projects aimed at raising funds for charity and providing services for needy causes.

[19] West Midlands Police subsequently carried out an investigation into whether criminal offenses had been committed by those preaching or teaching at the mosque.

[22] In 2023, £2.2 million of government funding for a youth centre at the mosque was withheld after a clip of an imam discussing stoning women went viral on social media.
