We hosted over 30 members of the non – Muslim community (both men and ladies) at Gillingham Masjid on Saturday evening 16th April 2022.

They were welcomed and given a short talk by Maulana Irfan about Ramadaan. They sat with us during the Dua and ate with us as we broke our fasts. They then experienced us praying Salaat ul Maghrib and enjoyed a further meal and an opportunity to talk to members of the community. They left before Salaat ul Isha.

We had much positive feedback.
This also coincided with our ladies gathering together for their own communal Iftaar in the Masjid.
May Allah reward all those involved, both the organisers and the helpers and facilitators and of course those who made the food. The Iftaar is provided daily in the Masjid during Ramadaan and both men and women attend. We will have on a normal day 50 -70 people, but there is often more, especially during weekends.

It takes a lot of time and effort to buy and prepare the food and serve it to the brothers and sisters in the Masjid at a time when those people doing it have also been fasting all day and will feel tired. They do this on top of their usual jobs and day time activities. May Allah make it easy for them and reward them for their sacrifice.

Dear Brothers and sisters in Islam

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wo barakatuhu.

As the Government COVID guidelines are changing it feels as though we are moving towards more normal times.

With a busy period fast approaching, we are looking ahead to our Ramadan arrangements for April Inshah Allah.

This is a time where we rely on heavier fund raising for the new Masjid and we will ask our Community to once again dig deep whilst we try to push forward with the development.

I want to take this opportunity to say that the Community has given a lot and will continue to give and may Allah subhana wa ta’ala open up our generosity, but ultimately we are using the opportunity given by Allah subhana wa ta’ala to provide for ourselves for now and the hereafter.

Consider the endless rewards of Sadaqah Jaria and how this is multiplied by giving in Ramadan.
