In its year of opening, Masjid At-Taqwa saw as few as 20-30 congregants walking through its doors. However as the services developed and increased in number so did the number of worshipers. Over the years the early Masjid saw many constructional changes to expand and accommodate the growth. It was the first Masjid in Leicestershire to accommodate congregational prayer for female worshipers and amongst the few which provided many basic social services.The Masjid property consisted of two small separate buildings connected by a courtyard. The main prayer room accommodated a mere 80 people. The floor above and below were smaller and were used for overflow. The total capacity across all the various rooms/halls was a very tight 350. In the years that passed by, Muslim worshipers from all backgrounds and all walks of life passed through the doors to offer their prayers. This included many students, migrants, professionals and asylum seekers from around the world. The Masjid had developed a strong sense of community cohesion under the unity of One God despite the differing races and cultures. All would remark on the sheer warmth and friendliness experienced in the Masjid. Masjid At-Taqwa sought means to improve its services and accommodate the increasing growth but was severely limited due to the physical size of the property. However in early 2011 the prayers were answered as it was able to secure the agreement to purchase a huge property 5 times in size directly opposite to the existing location.
