A Night of Unity, Faith & Community — Taste Ramadan 2026

On the evening of Saturday 7th March 2026, the Kent Muslim Welfare Association opened its doors and its heart to the wider community for a truly special occasion – Taste Ramadan.

The Masjid came alive with the enchanting voices of children reciting Nasheeds and verses from the Holy Quran, filling the space with warmth and spiritual beauty. Guests were welcomed into an evening of open conversation, learning, and genuine connection – with an insightful Q&A session offering neighbours, colleagues, and community leaders a rare opportunity to explore the essence of Islam in an open and welcoming environment.

As the Adhan sounded and the fast was broken, around 40 guests from across the community joined together for a wonderful Iftar meal – sharing food, stories, and laughter around the same table. Among those present were Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and people of other faiths and none, alongside Muslims from a wide range of backgrounds. Representatives from Kent Fire & Rescue Service, Kent Police, and Medway Council also joined us – a testament to the growing bonds between KMWA and those who serve our community.

It was an evening that reminded us all of what is possible when we choose curiosity over assumption, and togetherness over division.

To every single person who attended, volunteered, performed, or contributed – thank you. You made this night what it was.

Ramadan Mubarak from the KMWA family to yours. 🌙

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْم

Ramadan Mubarak to you and your families! 🌙

March is a blessed month at KMWA – with Ramadan in full swing, there is something for everyone. From Taraweeh prayers and Quran reflections to community Iftars and the Taste Ramadan open evening, we warmly invite you to make the most of this special time at your Masjid.

🕌 The New Masjid Needs You – Donate This Ramadan

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْم

“Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Alhamdulillah, today we are relaunching our fundraising campaign for the New Gillingham Masjid with renewed energy and determination, insha’Allah.

There is no better time than Ramadan – every good deed is multiplied, every pound given carries the weight of hundreds, and every brick of this Masjid becomes a sadaqah jariyah that will outlast us all.

You can contribute in three ways:
💳 Donate immediately — any amount, however small
🤝 Pledge as a family — make it a collective act of worship
📅 Set up a monthly contribution — consistent giving, consistent reward

This Masjid belongs to our community. Let us finish what we started, together- and show the world that the Muslims of Medway stand united, generous, and full of faith.

Please share this with your family and friends, near and far. Every share, every donation and every dua brings us one step closer, insha’Allah. 🤲
