New Masjid Project
The Future plans for the area is to establish a new masjid. Due to substantial increase of the Islamic population our current masjid is unable to accommodate the community because of insufficient space we are resorted to using a tent at times. Therefore we are now looking to construct a new purpose built Masjid with an increased capacity accommodating up to 300 worshippers and to provide additional facilities for the Masjid and our Community.
The new two-story building will include:
- Prayer facilities for up to 300 worshippers
- Full wheelchair access and facilities for the disabled
- Art exhibition, library, and interfaith room for Dawah
- Separate brothers’ and sisters’ ablution areas
- Toilet areas for men and women
- Kitchen
It will provide
- 5 daily prayers
- Jumma and Eid prayers
- Ramadan taraweeh, iftar facilities
- Nikah and funeral services
- Janaza home
- Madrasa facilities (children’s classes)
- Adult classes/ courses for men and women including Islamic, Tajweed, Tafsir, Hadith, Fiqh, Janaza etc
- Facilities for mother and young children’s groups
- Interfaith meetings, school and community visits
- Free advice and support to the local community
