End of year 2007 update.

What a year its been. 2007 started with still a few changes needing approval from the Council. Work started in earnest in Ramadan, and at the end of the year passers by can actually see the new Masjid structure from afar.

The ground floor slab should be two thirds completed (concrete etc) by the end of the year (I.A.).

The first floor metal decking is complete, and concrete will be laid in the early 2008 (I.A.).

Insha Allah, with your duas and Allah's mercy, we hope to have the 'shell' completed by Ramadan next year. The roofing and drainage contracts have been given, and work will commence in January, and completed in February(I.A.). We are currently negotiating with the brick and stone suppliers, with a view to starting the wall building in March / April, with the dome / minarets in April / May, and windows in July / August.

All this can only be acheived with your duas, Allah's mercy and help, and your donations. We still need another half a million pounds to complete the project, so we need your donations to keep coming in.

May the Almighty accept all the efforts and donations of all those involved in the project, and bless them with abundance, peace and tranquility in both worlds.
