Our plan to rebuild this masjid is progressing very well. You have donated so far nearly 175,000 pounds. For a small community, we have done extremely well and we should be very proud of this. Our guarantee to all the people who have donated and are donating money, your money will be used for the building of the mosque. Your money is safe and your money will be used for the purpose of rebuilding the mosque; and nothing else. We need to raise more funds. We want to do three things: 1. To hold a general meeting with all the muslims of Eastbourne to share information and for questions and answers. The meeting will be on Sunday 18.9.11 from 1pm to 3pm. Please come to this important meeting so that we can make collective decisions to move forward. 2. To organize a Fund Raising Committee to push forward our fund raising activities 3. To plan for the construction of our Masjid We look forward to meeting everybody especially our ladies and youths on 18.9.11
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Construction is going from strength to strength, with bricks and planks going down to form the flooring! This is a significant milestone in the journey of creating a new modern mosque for the growing Muslim community in Eastbourne.
Thank you all for your continued support and donations – we still need a further £200,000 to complete the Mosque, so please keep donating and watch our new Masjid rise!

Salam brothers and sisters in Islam.
Here is an update on the mosque construction:
The first phase of demolition has been completed – emptying and gutting mosque building, removal of the roof and asbestos. The hedges around the entrance to the mosque has also been removed (see photos) and now the second phase of demolition will begin tomorrow – Tuesday 5 April where the building walls will be demolished and the floor taken up.
The method of demolition has been approved by National Rail after sending an engineer down to the site and they are happy that the dust and debris will be contained. National Power has also visited the site and we are now waiting for a date to be set for the electrical cable diversion underground.
As the works will now escalate inshallah, more funds are needed. Brothers and sisters in Islam thank you for all your donations so far and to those of you who supported the fundraising event in Brighton last night, where almost £2500 was collected. May Allah reward you in multiples for your saddaqua.
There will be regular construction updates on the website and on twitter, so that we can all follow and experience together the transformation of our mosque.
JazakoumAllah khair
Assalamwalaikoum Brothers and Sisters in Islam.
Ramadan has been a great opportunity to be generous and donate for Allah’s sake.InshAllah, all donations will be multiplied several times.
As usual, you have been fantastic by supporting our new mosque building appeal. The pledges are still coming but we have been able to collect £31,000 worth of pledges.
Thank you for this generous pledges and InshAllah we look forward to further donations and pledges.
May Allah guide us on the right path for building His House..
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam,
Assalamwalaikoum WRB.
RAMADAN MUBARAK
Ramadan is nearly here and we all look forward to a pious month feeling closer to Allah and focus on good deeds.
CAR PARK
The car park is for those who come to the mosque to pray. Please do not use it for long term parking which will be clamped. We are exploring putting barriers around the car park and provide a key at a small cost for those who wish to use our car park.
NEW MOSQUE
Since the mosque gathers and unites Muslims, Allah grants unrivalled rewards for its building which is inspired by the holy Qur’an and hadeeths of the prophet PBUH. Allah will build a house in Jannah for those who help build His House on earth. InshaAllah.
After extensive discussions, we are confident that the new mosque can be built for £500,000. We have around £300,000 with pledges. We need to raise another £200,000. Roughly, the mosque needs a donation of £1000 per head/family. We appeal to you to donate generously during the month of Ramadan and beyond so that the mosque can be built. Make your pledges now. We will also be collecting funds from other mosques.
Contractors will only sign the contract if we have sufficient funds or pledges. So, please come forward, join in and invest in Allah’s House.
If we have sufficient pledges/donations, construction could start after Ramadan InshaAllah. We can do it together. Let us unite our efforts to provide a mosque for the future, for our children and for Islam in Eastbourne. Thank you..
GOOD NEWS
The New Management Committee had its first meeting. It was a very good start and will work positively to ensure our new mosque building is realised. The Trustees will ensure our mosque is safeguarded and be a beacon of collaboration as it has been for the last 15 years.
FIRE SAFETY: The fire officers have inspected the building and fitted new fire detectors. Exits are sufficient and Br Hamid is working on a drawing to show exits. All exits should be open during Jummah
EICC: The Trustees are liable for any accidents, damages, building problems, neighbour disputes, and legal action against asbestos, highways, and compensation claims. This means the Trustees are personally responsible for all these risks. In order to eliminate all these possible risks, EICC has been converted into a CHARITABLE Limited Company limiting Trustees to only £10 liability. The aims and objectives of EICC remain the same. EICC is a Registered Charity No: 1152022
New Mosque Building: The architect is working on suggested amendments. We will prepare for building regulations, implementation of legal agreements with ESCC and obtain estimates from building contractors.
EID PARTY: This will be held in the mosque this year. Sister Shameem is the organiser. Help needed please.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam,
The next meeting of the Fundraising Group will be on 17.3.13 after Zuhr prayer in the mosque. The agenda is Fund Collection From Other Mosques.
The community wants to see progress and urges everybody to concentrate on how we can raise funds so that the building can start. Key people willing to help raise funds in other mosques will be given a letter of authorisation so that funds are collected responsibly. Those interested to go round the country to collect funds, please bring a passport size photograph to be appended to the letter from the Chairman.
As you know, we have collected 285,000 pounds so far and we need to have at least 350,000 to start the building. InshaAllah, with the effort of the community we will get there soon. I am also attaching our planning consent confirmed by the Eastbourne Borough Council.
The Management Committee would like to thank the entire community for working hard and for the donations. May Allah build a House in Jannah for all of us InshaAllah.
