Beyond those doors lies a place serving Stockholm’s Muslim community since 1992: Alby moské. It began as Islamiskt Forum i Botkyrka IFB. IFB sought to serve the growing Muslim population. The forum now includes members of many nationalities and especially many young people.
Alby moské provides essential religious services. Daily prayers are held here. The Friday sermon is an important event each week. IFB cooperates with other organizations in Botkyrka. These include both municipal and state entities. Together they contribute to the wider community.
But Alby moské is more than just a place of worship. It is a community hub. IFB hosts various social activities. Family and youth meetups occur regularly. These gatherings address important topics. Discussions cover family, children, youth, society, and the environment.
Education plays a key role at Alby moské. The mosque offers modern educational resources. These resources help young people integrate into Swedish society. IFB strives to serve Swedish society. They consider themselves an integral part.
Alby moské aims to preserve and strengthen Muslim identity. It enables Muslims to practice their religion. This practice occurs both individually and collectively. Muslims can engage positively in society.
Islam has five pillars that support its teachings. These pillars help people to live good and just lives. The pillars are the declaration of faith, prayer, fasting, giving to charity and pilgrimage.
Alby moské offers many services. These services cater to the congregation members and visitors. The mosque strives to maintain services that are requested and needed. If you cannot find what you seek, you can always ask. The mosque will try to assist as best as possible.
This Islamic center prides itself on diversity and openness. It embraces community engagement and development. Alby moské defines Muslim identity within this framework. This definition shapes the character of their community.
Alby moské is still a very active community. For example, in February 2025 the board sent out meeting invitations to all members. They are welcome to join and contribute to the community.
