Masjid Baitul Ma’mur History
Masjid Baitul Ma’mur, located in Laverton, Victoria, serves as a vital hub for the Indonesian Muslim community in the area. It operates under the Indonesian Muslim Community of Victoria (IMCV), a non-profit religious organization founded in 1997 to support Indonesian Muslims across the state. Alongside other centers such as Masjid Westall and Surau Kita, the mosque provides spaces for worship, Islamic education, and community events, addressing both the spiritual and social needs of Indonesian Muslims in Melbourne.
Beyond its religious services, Masjid Baitul Makmur plays an active role in broader community initiatives. IMCV is involved in projects like the Australian Multicultural Centre for Unity (AMCU), which aims to establish an Islamic Centre in northern Melbourne to serve the wider Muslim community. This initiative underscores IMCV’s dedication to promoting unity and offering comprehensive services, including education, youth programs, and funeral services.
Through its programs and facilities, Masjid Baitul Makmur enriches Victoria’s cultural and religious diversity, fostering mutual understanding and collaboration among different communities.
