West Coast Islamic Centre

The West Coast Islamic Centre is a community-focused organisation established to support Muslims living in the western suburbs of Perth, Australia. Founded in 2023, it addresses the lack of local facilities and activities for Muslims in areas such as Scarborough, Wembley Downs, City Beach, and surrounding suburbs. The centre provides a communal place of worship and fosters a strong sense of belonging and identity among Muslims in these communities through various religious and social initiatives.

Road to Remembrance: Ramadan Video Series Competition

The Road to Remembrance is the flagship project of the West Coast Islamic Centre, designed as a Ramadan video series competition that engages the entire community. Participants create short Islamic videos on selected topics, promoting Islamic knowledge and spiritual growth during Ramadan.
