🕌 Bismillāhir Raḥmānir Raḥīm

Assalāmu ʿAlaikum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh

Dear brothers and sisters,

Allāh ﷻ says in the Noble Qur’ān:


“Indeed, Allāh commands you to render trusts to whom they are due, and when you judge between people, to judge with justice.”Sūrah al-Nisā’ (4:58)


In keeping with this divine command, the KMWA Board of Trustees has set out the following rules and procedures to ensure that the Trustee Election on Sunday, 17th May 2026 is conducted with transparency, fairness, and integrity, in shā’Allāh.

These guidelines cover eligibility to vote, the nomination process, and conduct on election day. We kindly ask all members – whether standing as candidates, voting, or simply attending – to read them carefully so that the process runs smoothly and reflects the values of our community.

May Allāh ﷻ guide our affairs, bless this election, and grant success to those who will best serve His house and His servants. Āmīn.

If you feel called to serve – or know someone in our community who would serve with sincerity, wisdom, and dedication – we warmly invite you to come forward.

🕌 Children Welcome at Eid Prayers – A New Chapter for KMWA

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 🌙

A Fresh Start – New Carpets at Gillingham Mosque

🕌 Alhamdulillah – New Carpets at Gillingham Mosque

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْم

We are delighted to share that Gillingham Mosque has been blessed with brand new carpets, Alhamdulillah.

This project was made possible entirely through the generosity of our community. Every contribution -whether given at Jummah, by bank transfer, or quietly and anonymously -came together to make this a reality. May Allah ﷻ accept from each and every one of you and reward you abundantly in this life and the next.

A heartfelt Jazākum Allāhu Khayran to all our donors, volunteers, and community members who supported this initiative. You are the heart of this Masjid.

Fresh carpets beneath our feet as we stand before Allah ﷻ in prayer – may this be more than just a renovation. May it be a symbol of renewal, unity and positive change for KMWA and our community. We begin this new chapter with gratitude, with hope, and with a firm commitment to continuing to improve and serve our community in the best way possible, insha’Allah.

The doors of Gillingham Mosque are open. Come, pray, and feel at home.
