  • Temporary Mosque Closure – COVID-19

    We all know that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is very serious, more people are becoming infected and death toll is rising nationally.

    EICC has taken advice and has followed developments in UK and overseas very closely. We have taken on board the views of our community, our management group our Imam and the latest government guidance.

    We thank our community for expressing their opinions and views during the consultation period. Your input has been very helpful as the closure of our mosque is the most difficult decision. It’s a decision that needs religious clarity and courage.

    After careful consideration of: all the facts, risks and your opinions, EICC has taken the decision to temporerily close the mosque with immediate effect from tonight until further notice.

    We ask our community to pray at home from Fajr tomorrow.

    We pray that Allah swt accepts our decision and bless us all with His mercy.

  • Official Eastbourne Mosque Statement – 31 August 2019

    السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

    Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam

    It is with a very heavy heart that we inform you that our mosque has been vandalised overnight (30-31st August 2019) in the early hours of the morning.

    By the grace of Allah swt the damage is limited and the main target appears to have been the CCTV room.

    The hard drives for the CCTV’s are missing. The Imam’s office has all the paperwork on the floor. The kitchen has not suffered any damage but looks like it has been searched through. The boiler room was broken into; but nothing is missing. The carpet remains to be intact.

    Please note the mosque is open as usual and suitable for all the normal prayers inshaAllah.

    East Sussex police has been informed and are looking into the matter. Furthermore, we are reviewing the security of the building and will keep you informed.

    In the meantime we urge everyone to please be vigilant and careful when coming to and from our mosque.

    May Allah protect the House of Allah and our community.

    Jazakem Allah Kharian
