بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْم

Eid is a celebration for the whole Ummah – and that includes our youngest members.

We are pleased to announce that KMWA has lifted the previous restriction on children aged 5 and under attending Eid prayers. All children are now warmly and wholeheartedly welcome to join their families at Gillingham Mosque for Eid Salah, insha’Allah.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young ones.”
Our children are the future of this community and there is no more fitting place for them than standing alongside their families in the house of Allah ﷻ on the most joyful days of the Islamic calendar.

We ask parents to keep little ones close and to be mindful of other worshippers during prayers, but let there be no doubt – your children belong here, and we look forward to celebrating Eid together as one community, young and old.

May Allah ﷻ bless our children, grant them love for the Masjid from an early age, and unite our community in joy this Eid.

عِيدٌ مُبَارَكٌ – Eid Mubarak in advance to you all 🌙
