The Royal Observatory Greenwich (ROG) has acted as a resource centre for mosques in the UK, providing data on the visibility of the new crescent Moon that is essential for determining the beginning of each Islamic month. A series of projects have sought to take advantage of this link, strengthening the connection between the ROG and the British Islamic community and seeking to engage a traditionally 'hard to reach' audience with modern astrophysics. I will describe these activities and offer a brief analysis of their impact.
