In 1967, the Bangladeshi Muslim community (domicile previously in East Pakistan), residing in Manchester and its surrounding towns, made a communal decision to establish their own Mosque. This endeavour was funded entirely by donations and contributions from within the community. The late Muhammad Abdul Matin Chowdhury, Bosharat Ali, Syed Abdul Hannan, and Makaddus Bakht were entrusted as the holding trustees and were assigned the responsibility of acquiring the building at 1A Eileen Grove, Rusholme, Manchester - previously the property of the Maclaren Public Institute. Shortly thereafter, the Mosque began its operations in the said premises. During a public meeting in May 1975, a decision was reached to name the building "Shahjalal Mosque and Islamic Centre" and establish a committee to oversee its daily operations. The following week, a council was formed from the Mosque's general body of membership. Their role was to draft a constitution to ensure the Mosque's efficient functioning, maintenance, and to meet the aims and objectives originally stipulated in 1967.

Masjid Omar was established in 1981 and has gone from strength to strength, from the size of the congregation to the expansive building work that has gone on over the years that enables a range of services that are now offered. Masjid Omar is used exclusively for the five times daily prayers, Jumma and Eid Prayers, Quranic recitals and lectures. It is also used for the purpose of a Madrassah (Muslim School) for children, male and female above the age of 5. We teach Quran and the fundamentals of Islam. A Hifz class is also offered for those wishing to memorise the Holy Quran. During the month of Ramdhan the Mosque perfoms the Tarawih and Alhamdulillah, the Mosque is attended beyond capacity. Lectures are held on a regular basis and on a variety of topics, ranging from learning from Islam about inculcating peace and tolerance to everyday problems afflicting our communities today from diabetes and mental illnesses to drugs and alcohol abuse.

During the early 1980s, the North London Muslim Community Centre (NLMCC) was established to address the burgeoning need for social and welfare services within the local Muslim community. The roots of NLMCC can be traced back to the Young Muslim Cricket Club, founded in 1972 to cater for a group of cricket enthusiasts. By 1980, this had evolved into the North London Muslim Community Centre, which began to secure funding from Hackney Council for the provision of after-school and weekend youth activities. These took place in the basement of St Thomas's Church in Hackney. In recognition of their work, Hackney Council granted NLMCC use of a property at 68 Cazenove Road in 1984. The council also supported the full renovation of the building and the construction of a single-storey hall within the garden. Subsequently, in 1998, the property was expanded to include the adjacent building at 66 Cazenove Road.
