"It is also a good chance to meet the neighbours in the area. It will give people an opportunity to hear about the true teachings of Islam and see it is not terrorism and how it promotes peace and understanding.”

The Nasir Mosque, built by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, was the first purpose-built mosque in Hartlepool and opened in 2005.

It works closely with the local community and other faiths. Everyone is welcome at the open day.
