    April 2018 Newsletter

    Assalamwalaikoum Brothers and Sisters in Islam,

     

    Below is your copy of the April 2018 EICC newsletter.

    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.

  • New Mosque April 2018 Update

    New Mosque April 2018 Update

    Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

    Dear brothers and sisters in Islam,

    Firstly, it is a great pleasure in updating you with what has been happening since our last update. We are very excited and pleased to announce that finally the carpets are being fitted in with no further delays. As you will see from the pictures below, considerable amount of work has been accomplished. Downstairs area as well as the stairways have their carpets fitted and now work has started upstairs to complete all the remaining carpeting.

    We are also pleased to announce the wudu area and toilets are also completed and are fully functional. As you will notice in the pictures the high level of quality and detail that has been put in to complete this section of the Mosque.

    Brothers and Sisters, we are not far from entering our new Mosque to start praying. However, unfortunately, we are still short of funds which are imminent in order to enter the mosque in time for Ramadan.

    We acknowledge that everyone has been and is being very generous for the cause of Allah and helping in completing our mosque. We urge you all to be just that extra bit in your willingness to give for the sake of Allah swt so we can all benefit from the gains achieved.

    Brothers and Sisters none of this again would have been possible without your continuous support and kind, generous donations. We are nearly there and still in need of your generous contributions to complete our Mosque, so please kindly help however you can and donate as much as you can. At the time of writing this update, we have roughly £66,100 remaining for us to raise. Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress and working together is success.

    Please admire the pictures below and ponder where we were and how far we have come.

    May Allah swt bless you all for your hard work and generous donations, may Allah accept all our good intentions and grant us our house in Jannah. Ameen

    Jazākum Allāh Khayran

  • First Prayer at new mosque

    First Prayer at new mosque

    Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh brothers and sisters in Islam,

    Thank you for coming to the Mosque for the guided tour of the new mosque on Sunday 10 December.

    It has been a pleasure to show everyone the various additional developments. We believe now we have a vastly improved and bigger mosque with all the facilities including janaza storage ablution and salah.

    All this has been possible because we have a strong Muslim community in Eastbourne blessed by Allah. It is His will that Eastbourne has His House. We will have the modern education facilities to ensure our children and adults have a good Standard of Islamic Education.

     

    However we’re still short of funds and the sooner we are able to have more funds, the sooner we will complete the Mosque and or the community to have access to the Mosque. We know the community has donated a lot of money and I can assure you that every penny has been used to its maximum effect and value. We urge you to make an effort to donate whatever you can and let’s complete our mosque comprehensively.

    Finally I wish to share with you that the first Azaan was called on Sunday at Zuhr time, Imam Abdel Rahim led the first prayer and then gave a beautiful reminder that the mosque is here and our thoughts should also focus on the next generation. It was a fantastic feeling praying in the new mosque.

    May Allah help us raise the remaining funds quickly so that we can move into the new mosque soon.

    Thank you to everyone who pulled together to make it a great and memorable day.

     

    Jazakom Allahu khairan

    Alhamdulillah great progress has been achieved only by your hard efforts and generous contributions. The scaffolding has now been removed and majority of the external work is near to completion.

     

    As you will notice all the glass frames have been allocated in its positions elegantly. Internal structure has progressed tremendously with the plastering complete, window frames fitted, glass panels fitted, doors fitted, partially painted and all electrical wiring done.

     

    All this would not be possible with out your continuous support and kind, generous donations. We are nearly there and still in need of your generous contributions to complete our Mosque, so please kindly help however you can and donate as much as you can.
