Leeds businessman Aihtsham Rashid has raised more than £63,000 to renovate derelict building in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis
The Outer Hebrides is to get its first mosque in time for the start of the holy Islamic month of Ramadan in May.
A Leeds businessman has raised more than £63,000 through donations from across the world to renovate a derelict building in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis.
The mosque will serve Muslim families living in Stornoway, who have been joined in recent years by several families who have fled the civil war in Syria.
The Muslim community in Stornoway currently worships at a house, but there is not enough room for everyone who wishes to take part.
A new electrical supply, roof and concrete floor are being installed to give the property a prayer room and a meeting space.
