Linwood Islamic Centre, Mosque in Linwood, Christchurch, New Zealand
The Linwood Islamic Centre functions as a primary religious facility with spacious prayer halls and educational rooms for the Muslim community in Christchurch.
In March 2019, the mosque became the target of a mass shooting incident that resulted in eight fatalities during Friday prayers.
The Islamic Centre organizes regular educational programs about Islamic traditions and practices for community members of various cultural backgrounds.
The mosque maintains daily prayer schedules and provides separate prayer areas for men and women, with facilities for ritual washing.
Abdul Aziz, a worshipper at the mosque, prevented additional casualties by confronting and distracting the attacker during the 2019 incident.
