The Liverpool Muslim Institute at 8 Brougham Terrace was purchased by Abdullah Quilliam and the mortgages for 11, and 12. This was achieved due to a donation by Prince Nasrullah Khan of Afghanistan.

He established the Mosque at no.8 and also opened a boarding school for boys and a day school for girls. He also opened an orphanage (Medina House) for non-Muslim children whose parents could not look after them, and agreed to for them to be raised in the values of Islam.

In addition, the Institute operated educational classes covering a wide range of subjects that were attended by both Muslims and non-Muslims, and included a museum and science laboratory.
