Canterbury Mosque

This mosque is expected to REOPEN on 31st of October 2023 if Allah wills. May Allah help this Muslim community to flourish as Canterbury has a lot of love for Islam. Shutting the mosque for a year for construction has been a traumatic experience for those who were attached to the masjid but alhamdulillah soon the Masjid is due to open again. May Allah reward the patience of those who are in Canterbury and used to pray regularly at the masjid.

They have a website as well. Where you can see the prayer timings and you can donate for the mosque construction plan. To be honest lots of facilities are provided by the University of Kent. So the environment and the people around is very friendly. Don't forget that Muslim or Non Muslim both are creation of Allah. May Allah have peace upon all of us.

I will be honest and mention that I am a committee member since more than a year. However, I have volunteered for 7 years. It is a smallish mosque. Congregation is in the few hundreds range in the most busiest day before Covid. I can say that it has dealt very wisely with pandemic. We closed our doors even before the first lockdown. We followed all the government rules and guidance of Muslim Council of Britain. The mosque helped in many fronts; hot meals delivery, helping the vulnerable, helping the NHS in their temporary set GP centre outside our door. Many hampers to frontline workers, food parcels to the in need families and fundraising for refugees. Donating to Canterbury council, catching lives, Archbishop school is among some. Even when it was allowed to open, only individual prayers were allowed for a while until deemed safe to allow Friday prayer, observing all the rules of sanitation, social distancing, one way system and so on. We have a register for every congregational prayer for track and trace. Our youth club is doing great work. Looking forward to normal times when we can resume our normal activities and have open days and school visits back.
