Baitul Huda, Sydney, Ahmadiyya mosque in Marsden Park, Sydney, Australia.
Baitul Huda is an Ahmadi mosque in Marsden Park, Sydney, run by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. The site includes a main prayer hall and a separate extension hall built in 2008 to mark the centenary of Khilafat. The mosque holds a funeral for Faraz Tahir in April 2024, attended by NSW Premier Chris Minns and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
The land at Marsden Park was bought in 1983, and Mirza Tahir Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih IV, laid the foundation stone on 30 September 1983 during his first visit to Australia. The first missionaries, Shakil Ahmad Munir and his wife Naima Munir, arrived on 5 July 1985, and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of Australia was registered on 7 September 1987. Mirza Tahir Ahmad opened the mosque in July 1989 on his second visit, and an extension hall was added in 2008 for the Khilafat centenary.
The mosque serves the Ahmadiyya community as a gathering place where people of all ages come together for worship and social events. Religious holidays and celebrations are observed here with shared meals and ceremonies that bring neighbors from the surrounding area.
The mosque is located at 45 Hollinsworth Road and is easily accessible by public transport or car. Visitors should check prayer times in advance and wear appropriate clothing when visiting, as it is an active place of worship.
In April 2024, member Faraz Tahir was killed defending others from a knife attacker at Bondi Junction Westfield. His funeral at the mosque was attended by NSW Premier Chris Minns and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who said Australia would always be grateful to him.
