История
[ редактировать ]
После Второй мировой войны мусульманские иммигранты, такие как албанцы, мигрировали в Викторию, и обнаружили, что государству не хватает исламской инфраструктуры. [ 12 ] Временные мечети, принадлежащие предыдущим мусульманам Мельбурна, существовали десятилетия назад, часто адаптированная небольшая комната для религиозных служб, но ни одна из них не была продолжительной. [ 13 ]
В 1961 году мусульманские иммигранты сформировали Исламское общество Виктории (ISV), чтобы удовлетворить свои религиозные потребности, а албанцы составляли наибольшее количество доноров. [ 14 ] Члены ISV встретились в адаптированном маленьком доме на улице Драммонд 1008, Карлтон, который в течение короткого периода служил в качестве мечети, став центром ее исламской общины Ассоциации Карлтона и мусульманской жизни. [15][16] In 1963, the Albanian community established an organisation named the Albanian Australian Islamic Society (AAIS).[4]
By the late 1960s, Albanians in Melbourne travelled far to the Albanian mosque in Shepparton, Victoria for Bajram (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha) celebrations and Muslim burial services (janaza).[17] Due to wide geographical distances between both Albanian communities, phone calls were expensive and telegrams sent only when a death occurred.[17] The situation motivated the Melbourne Albanian community, who by that time were to varying degrees financially established to build a mosque within the city.[17][5][18]
Fundraising was successfully undertaken by AAIS with one of its founders, Memet Zyka, a community leader seeking and receiving donations from Muslim, Catholic and Orthodox members of the Albanian community.[19][20] AAIS purchased a property at 765 Drummond Street, Carlton.[21][4] It contained a Victorian period two story house, previously the home of past Victorian Police Commissioner Thomas O'Callaghan, and an adjacent large empty plot of land.[21][4] The initial design of the mosque building was square with brownish bricks.[8] Construction began in 1967[5][1] and finished in 1969.[10][8][6]
The mosque since its establishment, apart from being a centre for Albanian religious and cultural activities has also provided assistance to other communities.[8] For instance, Albanians in the 1970s shared their mosque with newly arriving Turkish immigrants, becoming at the time an important centre for the Turkish Australian community.[22] Other arrivals, such as students from Southeast Asian countries (Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia) received assistance from the mosque.[8] In the 1970s and 1980s, a Muslim Palestinian volunteer at the mosque, Omar Hallak taught the Quran and Arabic language.[23]
In 1981, Rexhep Idrizi, became the imam at the mosque.[24][25] A minaret was added to the mosque in 1994, after permission was granted by the High Court of Australia.[8] The building underwent major renovations in 2003 resulting in the addition of a number of new facilities, the mosque exterior painted white and the installation of red carpet, to reflect the colour of the Albanian flag.[8] Dr Bekim Hasani succeeded as imam of the mosque.[26][27]

In solidarity with victims of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings, the mosque like others in Victoria held an open day (17 March) for the public to support or acquaint themselves with Islam and Muslims.[28]
AAIS held a celebratory outdoor festival at the mosque on 17 November 2019 marking its 50th anniversary, attended by some 3000-4000 people.[8][29][30] It included Muslim Australians of Albanian and other backgrounds, non Muslim Australians of other faiths, political representatives (local MP Adam Bandt and City of Yarra mayor Danae Bosler), heads of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and some police officers.[31][32][11] Simultaneously, an exhibition was held inside the mosque showcasing its history.[29] For the occasion and the first time in its history, the call to prayer (adhan) was performed by Amet Balla from the mosque minaret and heard in the surrounding area through its loudspeakers.[8]
During its 50-year history, the mosque congregation, including donors has become diverse and originating from various ethnicities.[8] Imam Hasani left the mosque in 2020 to become head of sharia affairs at the Islamic Coordinating Council of Victoria (ICCV).[27][33] The current imam is Perparim Sulaj.
