Alhumdolillah, through the prayers and efforts of all and Allah's mercy, the local council have approved the design of the foundations and steel structure. This now means that we can start the construction work with earnest. Negotiations with contractors will be finalised by end of August, and orders placed for this work, with work starting before Ramadan, Insha-Allah.
We are planning a Jalsa on September 9th (Sunday before Ramadan), Ulemas and Shaikhs from UK and abroad have been invited, following acceptances, full details will be published. The programme will start at Zohar (Jamat 2.00 pm) followed by Qiraat, speeches, Madressa annual prize giving, followed by digging of the foundation and duas for the New Masjid. After Asar Jamat at 5.45pm, food will be served to all attendees.
We pray that the Almighty makes this task as easy as possible, and accepts all our duas and efforts in building this House of Allah.
As always we ask you all to remember this Project in your duas, especially in the holy months of Shabaan and Ramadan. Also with the work starting, we will need to escalate our financial appeal, and ask for donations. Please see our main website (link above) for full details of the appeal and methods of payment.
Wassalaam.
Project Management Team.
