Ron Geaves on Abdullah Quilliam Mosque & The First Muslim Community in the UK

Join Professor Ron Geaves, an author and historian from Liverpool,
who will be speaking about the community of Muslims established
between 1889 and 1908 by Sheikh Abdullah Quilliam in Liverpool after
his conversion to Islam in Morocco around 1887.
Abdullah Quilliam, also known as the “Sheikh al-Islam of the UK”
created Britain’s first registered Mosque in the city of Liverpool
converting around 250 men and women in the city to Islam.
It was the first mosque in England situated at Brougham Terrace,
Liverpool. For almost one hundred years this building was used as
Liverpool Records of marriages and Births.
The staff who worked there used to refer to it as ‘The Little Mosque’
totally unaware that it was the first mosque in England and its
historical value

Did Mr Quilliam teach latitudinarian concepts in line with quran or did he push sectarian islam in line with later Arabian doctrines?
