Jamea Al Kauthar


Today the Lancaster University Islamic Society decided to make a visit to Madrasah Jamea Al Kauthar, situated near the Lancaster city centre. I tagged along since I was curious myself. This madrasah is quite unique, in a sense that it is one of the largest in the UK, due to the fact that it occupy one of the famous historical building in Lancaster, Royal Albert. It used to be a hospital and even a school for the mentally handicapped. The building is very huge (30,000 square ft) and and surrounded by 20.5 acres of greenery. You can have more details on their website (http://www.jamea.co.uk/). It costs them £750,000 when they purchased it in 1995 but now it's worth is close to £50 millions. Talk about shrewd investment!
