We have been very busy trying to open for Ramadan, so apologies once again for a late posting, but we thought you would appreciate the latest news before the holy month of Ramadan. Unfortunately, progress has not been as expected, and the start of Ramadan looks highly unlikely in the New Masjid, but we are hoping for a mid Ramadan start (approx Friday 15th Ramadan) insha Allah. Please make duas.
So here is the latest gallery...........................
Two views of the Main Prayer Hall, The Mehrab and central chandelier
99 Names of Allah (these granite plaques, 99 off around the top of the main Prayer Hall, have each name of Allah engraved and gold foiled, also not pictured these are preceded with a hadith of the virtues of memorising these names, 'Bismillah....' and ayat of Surah Hashr 'Huwallahul ladhi....)
(Above from top left) Corridor, Lift, Wudhu Khana (ablution area), Entrance (off car park), Main Entrance (Audley Range), Walter St elevation - note paving around the Masjid.
The concrete blocks between the windows and the entrances will be clad with granite tiles etc, this has been delayed due to waiting for Council approval of the design, and will now be sourced (from India) then imported. Most likely this will be completed early 2010.
The first floor still has alot of work remaining, and likely date for completion of the whole project will spring 2010 insha Allah.
Please continue to make duas for this project in the coming Holy month of Ramadan.
