Bait ul-Momin, Mosque in Münster-Hiltrup, Germany.
Bait ul-Momin is a mosque opened in 2003 in the Hiltrup industrial area, on a 1,015 m² plot of which 202 m² is built over. It has a dome and two 10-metre minarets not used for the call to prayer, and its two prayer halls hold 213 worshippers.
The foundation stone was laid in 2001, marking a significant moment in the history of mosques in Germany. This event represented a first of its kind when a community leader performed the ceremony for such a building in the country.
The name Bait ul-Momin is Urdu for "House of the Guarantor of Security". The community is run by a board elected every three years, and since 2003 three Murrabis, trained educators who devote their lives to the congregation, have served here. Visitors can join the annual Day of the Open Mosque.
The mosque is located at Hansestraße 61 in Münster and can be reached by car or public transport. Visitors should plan their visit around prayer times to experience how the building is used by the community.
The project was fully financed by community donations before construction permits were even issued. This show of trust highlights how deeply the members committed to making this vision a reality.
