News Flash: Time To Build Masjid Athari!

Al-Athariyyah is in the process of acquiring a building that will serve the needs of the community as both a Masjid and an educational establishment for our children. The Masjid will aim to cater for over 850 worshippers. We also hope to use the building as a Nursery and a Primary school, as well as a centre for Islamic knowledge for the wider community.athari building 1

This is a great opportunity for the Salafis in East London to acquire premises that will fulfil our needs, Insha’allaah. Over the last two decades we have had to make use of hired facilities to accommodate our weekly lessons, children’s madrassah alongside our conferences and community events. Furthermore, our community has not had a Masjid upon the Sunnah to establish the five daily prayers.

Alhamdulillaah, Allaah has granted us an opportunity to establish Masjid al-Athari, East London, by which the needs of our community can be fulfilled. We embark upon this noble project seeking the Face of our Lord and hoping for His reward as this is an amazing opportunity for the Salafis to leave behind a great legacy for generations to come. We ask Allaah, The Most High, that He makes this project successful, Aameen.
