Mosque Nour, which means light in Arabic, has been part of the society of Zwijndrecht and the surrounding area since 1991. In the late 1970s, a group of former Moroccan guest workers became aware of the fact that the chance of a permanent stay in the Netherlands was greater than a return to the country of origin. The need for a mosque grew within the community, something that is indispensable in the life of a Muslim. For example, in many municipalities in the Netherlands, initiatives arose from Muslims to come together for joint prayer, companionship and cultural activities. Mosque Nour was created from one of these initiatives by a group of Moroccans from Zwijndrecht. In 1991, a primary school on Surinamestraat was purchased and converted into a mosque on the inside.
