Khalid Bin Al-Waleed Masjid is an initiative by the Islamic Guidance Society in Australia (IGSA).

This Mosque is named after a prominent sahabah Khalid Bin Walid. He was from the Meccan tribe of Quraysh, from a clan that initially opposed Muhammad. He played a vital role in the Meccan victory at the Battle of Uhud against the Muslims.

He converted to Islam, and joined Muhammad (SAW) after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah and participated in various expeditions for him, such as the Battle of Mu'tah, which was the first battle between the Romans and the Muslims. Khalid ibn Al-Walid reported that the fighting was so intense, that while fighting, he broke nine swords in the battle. This earned him the title 'Saif-ullah' meaning "The Sword of Allah". He was the champion of many a decisive battle in favour of Islam, such as the battle against Musaylimah the Imposter and the battle of Yarmauk against the Roman Empire’s army in Syria.
