Dear brothers and sisters,
We are happy to announce that in shaa Allah Ramadan will begin on Thursday the 17th of May 2018.
In shaa Allah from tomorrow Isha Salât will be at 11pm followed by Tarawih.
May Allah accept our fasting, charities and all acts of worship and make this first Ramadan in our new Masjid a source of blessing, unity of hearts and intentions and guidance for us all.
JazaakoumAllah khair
Imam Abdel Rahim

Assalamwalaikoum brothers and sisters in Islam,
This is our last jummah here and the next one will be in our new mosque. We thank the management of this community hall and the community around here in Langney for accommodating us and enabling us to fulfil our religious duty.
The first taraweeh will be the first time the entire community will be entering the mosque in sha Allah. It is a moment of great happiness. There will be volunteers guiding people around the wudu area and the way to enter the mosque from the front main door.
It is important that we put our shoes and sandals in the shoe racks and keep our front entrance clean and tidy. Please dispose of tissues in the bins. There may be problem with the sewage connection which has been delayed in the men section. For the ladies, there is no problem
The first iftar is very symbolic and we want to invite the whole community to come and break their fast together. Iftar will be in two stages. After azaan there will be water, milk, dates, fruits to break our fast. After Maghreb prayer, there will be food. Please stay for some food. As usual, the food is paid by groups of volunteers and no donation money will be used for this event.
The carpet will be covered with tarpaulin to ensure the mosque does not get dirty, and smell of food. It is important that we keep all food items and drinks on the tarpaulin. We do not want to waste food and therefore we urge those serving food to be careful and do not overload the plates. By all means people can have second helpings.
In order to reduce waste, we will not be providing water for Taraweeh. We ask people to bring their own bottle and water.
Unfortunately, the car park will not be available and we urge everybody to park away from the mosque. Please make sure there is no congestion around the mosque and reduce the noise level so that the neighbours are not disturbed.
We are pleased to share with you that Sr Fozia Malik is coordinating the ladies section. We look forward to more ladies and girls engaging with the mosque to make it a good community centre.
Finally, we have our building completed but building only does not make a mosque. We want our community to come and pray in it. It is built as a centre for prayer, for education and for social activities.
We thank everybody, the local, national and international community who have donated, helped, worked tirelessly behind the scenes, the jummah team, the ladies and the children who have collected funds, to make things happen and realise our mosque by the grace of Allah.
We look forward to welcoming you all in the new mosque In sha Allah.
Jazakom Allah khair,
EICC

Assalamwalaikoum Brothers and Sisters in Islam,

New Mosque
MaA sha Aallah, the construction of the mosque has progressed very well and In sha Allah, we will be praying in our new mosque before Ramadan. The building is close to completion and we thank all the people who have contributed generously and made it possible to have a secure mosque for the people of Eastbourne. Security measures have incurred extra costs. May Allah reward all the donors and helpers and all their families with a House in Jannah.
We thank the community for being patient and the Groups that have been working behind the scene to ensure planning, construction and the smooth development of the mosque.
The vision is to In sha Allah develop the mosque into a vibrant centre with religious, educational and social activities for the community. There will be consultation (Mashwara) and community involvement to ensure we altogether move forward as a strong united Muslim community.
Education
In sha Allah,Masjid education will be developed for adults and children. Details to follow In sha Allah.
Maintenance of the Mosque
It is our duty to ensure the mosque is maintained and used with care. Maintenance is costly and we appeal to the community for a regular donation through Direct Debit In sha Allah. It is your donations and income generation initiatives that will ensure we continue to provide existing and new services.
Taraweeh Prayer
Ramadan timetable is being prepared and will be available soon. In sha Allah, there will be short talks /workshops before Maghrib during the weekends about fasting etiquette and Ramadan Matters In sha Allah. Iftar will be celebrated in the Masjid and a list will be available for brothers and sisters who wish to contribute. Isha Salat followed by Taraweeh prayer will start at 11.00pm and we encourage all brothers and sisters to attend so that we can pray Taraweeh together as one community in our new mosque. However, arrangements are being made to have a second Taraweeh prayer for those who are working late at night.
Eid Prayer
We aim to continue to hold the Eid Party In sha Allah, after the Eid prayer. We will need volunteers as usual. Details will be announced nearer the time.
Volunteers
Volunteers are needed for all various activities including:
Dawah
Presenting Islam to the wider community (open days, inviting neighbours to the masjid and so on)
Education
Supporting the youths in various ways, organising activities and so on
Maintaining the Masjid
Cleaning, Car Park and so on. Further Consultation will be on-going and we welcome your suggestion.
