The As-Salafi Mosque, also known as "The Salafi Mosque" or "Wright Street", is a Salafi mosque founded in 2002[1] and located in the Small Heath area of Birmingham, metres from the intersection of Muntz and Wright Streets and just behind Coventry Road.[2] The mosque is contained within the same building and connected to the registered charity and Islamic materials publisher Salafi Publications and the "SalafiBookstore"[1] (an extensive online multimedia platform in relation to this exists, such as SalafiSounds.com and Sunnah.TV).[3]

According to the mosque director, Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid,[4][5][6][7][8][9] more than a thousand men, women, and children pray the Friday 'jum'ah' Prayers there, and the mosque also contains a primary school and an evening Qur'an memorization school.[1] According to mosque flyers, there are usually Islamic-based lessons every day of the week[10] as well as seasonal conferences[11] which can attract around 3000 attendees from the UK and around Europe.[12]

Dawud Burbank (Abu Talhah) was a former senior lecturer at Masjid Salafi.[13]

Masjid Salafi is one of one-hundred and sixty-three mosques in the city of Birmingham, England.[14] It is also one of six mosques in the area of Small Heath Park.
