The Al-Rahma Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الرحمة, romanized: Masjid ar-Raḥmah, lit. 'Mosque of Mercy') is a mosque located on Hatherley Street in Toxteth, Liverpool, England, which can accommodate between 2,000 and 2,500 people[1] and serves as the main place of worship and focus point for Liverpool's Muslim population, estimated at 25,000 people.[2]
Background
[edit]The Liverpool Muslim Society, founded in 1953 by the late Al-Haj Ali Hizzam, a member of Liverpool's Muslim Community, and originally operated from a room in his house, is based at the mosque.[3]
The current mosque was built in 1974, having taken 10 years to get approval from the city's planning department.[4]
Today
[edit]The current building is used primarily by the city's Yemenis, Syrians, and Somali populations who constitute the vast majority of Liverpool's Muslim population.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
