Preston Mosque, Islamic prayer center in Preston, Melbourne, Australia.
The Umar bin Al-Khattab Mosque contains a main prayer hall accommodating 800 daily worshippers, with a dome and minaret added after initial construction.
Muslims gathered at a residential property before the mosque construction began in 1975, with completion and official opening taking place in 1976.
Bosnian and Arab immigrants contributed substantial funding for architectural additions, reflecting the diverse composition of the Melbourne Muslim community.
The mosque offers daily prayers, Friday congregational services, burial arrangements, weekend Arabic school, and separate sessions dedicated to female education.
In 2009, the mosque established an unprecedented partnership with Darebin City Council through a Memorandum of Understanding for community projects.
