We share our heartfelt shock and sadness at the attack in Southport this week where 3 innocent children had their life senselessly taken away, and many other adults and children were injured and traumatised. We grieve with the families and friends and of all of those people affected.
Who can not be affected by such a terrible tragedy?
Our support, condolences, and thoughts are for the victims and their families and for the community.
It is sad to see that at a time when groups should be coming together to support the victims, far right groups have attempted to exploit the tradegy to further their prejudicial aims.
This tradegy should not lead to further tradegy due to misinformation and the eagerness to quickly jump to false conclusions.
There is a public responsibility not to utilise such events to fan the flames of predjudice and violence.
The public have been let down by a liberal attitude to far right misinformation and fake news, and decades of various governments failures to address the growing problems of mental health (especially for those individuals with a history or risk of violence) in the community since the introduction of care in the Community as a policy of the Margaret Thatcher government in the 1980s.
We stand against violence, and we stand for community safety and welfare and the protection of vulnerable people young or old.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
Asalaamualaikum dear Brothers and Sisters,
We announce that Eid ul Fitr will be celebrated on Wednesday, 10th April 2024, inshAllah. This blessed day marks not just the end of Ramadan, but also a moment of unity, joy, and communal prayer for us all.
In keeping with the spirit of togetherness and devotion, the Jamia Gillingham Mosque on Canterbury Street will be offering five opportunities for Eid Salah on Wednesday, 10th April 2024.
These will commence at 7am, 8am, 9am, 10am, and 11am.
We extend a warm welcome to our sisters to join us at all five prayers.
Let us gather under the banner of faith in offering our thanks to Allah (SWT) for His infinite blessings, mercy, and guidance. May this Eid ul Fitr be a source of immense joy, peace, and prosperity for you, your families, and the Ummah.
Wishing you a blessed Eid filled with happiness, love, and the mercy of Allah (SWT).
Peace and duas,
KMWA
