al-Hamdu lillaah, Eid-ul-Adha will be on Sunday 11th August 2019 in shaa' Allaah.
Eid Mubaarak - taqabbal Allaah minnaa wa minkum! May Allaah accept our good deeds and yours.
Eid Prayers at the Masjid will be at :

8:30 am - Dr Suhaib Hasan
10:00 am - Abu Abdillaah Yunus
We ask Allaah 'azza wa jall to accept our good deeds from the first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah, which many scholars regard to be the best 10 days of the year. A useful guide to these blessed Ten Days can be found here
On the day of Eid, please park your cars sensibly, or use public transport. Please arrive and leave calmly, and ensure neighbours of the masjid are not disturbed.
As it is a Sunday there are no parking restrictions around the masjid. Note that the car park at the local shopping centre could also be used. However, please do not park irresponsibly or dangerously, else you will still get a ticket. The Masjid cannot take any responsibility in such an event.

Alhamdulillaah, some volunteers have arranged for tahajjud prayers to be held at the masjid during the last ten nights of Ramadan. The tahajjud prayer will start at 12:50am in shaa' Allaah. Prayers will commence from the night of 21st Ramadan, after the 20th fast, corresponding to the early hours of Sunday 26th June.
Volunteers are needed to help during these nights so please contact the masjid office if you are able to do so.
The masjid will be open for both brothers and sisters. However please note that the masjid doors will be closed after the tahajjud prayer and will reopen for Fajr, so please try to vacate the masjid as soon as possible after the prayers finish.
As it is in the middle of the night, please ensure you park sensibly with minimum noise. Please enter and leave the masjid calmly, and please do not loiter around the masjid. Parents with children are requested to keep their children with them at all times, and supervise them.
May Allaah help us to make the best use of these nights, and enable us to seek out the Night of Qadr :
Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree.
And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.
Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
- al-Qur'an, Soorat-ul-Qadr (97)

Ramadan Mubarak!
in shaa' Allaah the first fast of Ramadan will be on Monday 5th May 2019, and the taraweeh prayers will start after ishaa' prayer on Sunday night.
We pray that Allaah 'azza wa jall grants us all the ability to make the best use of this month, to worship Him with sincerity and to abstain from all which He dislikes.
Narrated Abu Hurayrah (ra): Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah said, ‘All the deeds of Adam’s sons (people) are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.’ Fasting is a shield or protection from the fire and from committing sins. If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual relation with his wife and quarreling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should say, ‘I am fasting.’ By Him in Whose Hands my soul is’ The unpleasant smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. There are two pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his Lord; then he will be pleased because of his fasting.”
From Abu Hurairah [رضي الله عنه] who said: The Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] used to give good news to his Companions with the arrival of Ramadan, he would say:
«قد جاءكم شهر رمضان شهرٌ مبارك ، كتب الله عليكم صيامه ، فيه تفتح أبواب الجنة وتغلق فيه أبواب الجحيم ، وتغل فيه الشياطين ، فيه ليلةٌ خيرٌ من ألف شهر ، من حُرِمَ خيرها فقد حُرِم.»
"Indeed the month of Ramadan has arrived, a blessed month. Allaah has prescribed fasting for you. In this month the doors of Paradise are opened and the doors of hell are closed. The devils are shackled. In Ramadan there is a night better than a thousand months, whoever is prohibited from the good in that night then indeed he has been prohibited from good."
[Collected By Al-Mundhari In Targheeb Wa Tarheeb | Authenticated By Albaani, (1/490)]
Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali said:
"Some of the scholars said: This Hadeeth is a foundation for some people congratulating others with the month of Ramadan.
How can one not give good news to the believer with the doors of Paradise opening.
How can one not give good news to the sinful that the doors of the Hell fire have been closed.
How can one not give good news to the intelligent one with that the devils are shackled.
Where can this time period be compared to any other time."
[Lata’if Al-Ma’arif, (1/158)]
