Wessex Jamaat runs a successful Food Drive.  The Al Mahdi Muslim Community of Wessex joins other Muslims around Britainand the world in observing the Holy month of Ramadan.

On the auspicious occasions of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sha'ban celebrating the Wiladat anniversaries of Imam al-Husayn (as), Hadhrat Abbas (as) and Imam Zain al-Abidin (as), Wessex Jamaat held Majalis programmes and a special Qasida program with guest speakers/reciters, including a competition organised for the children, youth and the young adults of the community. Details of the programmes and the competition can found here.

The 1st Shedfield Beavers Group visited the Al Mahdi centre on 18th March and we had a very enjoyable visit. We had 16 Beavers attend, all boys aged between 6 and 8 years, plus an older sister of one of the boys and 3 Adult Leaders. Rev. Bruce Deans also joined our group for the visit so he was able to help with some of the questions the children had.

MUSLIM COMMUNITY STATEMENT re WOOLWICH MURDER

On behalf of the Muslim Community, Local Muslim leaders have joined forces to strongly condemn the horrific murder that took place on Wednesday 22nd May 2013 in Woolwich, London.

One of the fundamental values of Islam is peace and the Islamic faith is a peaceful religion. The attackers who claim to have carried out this evil deed in the name of Islam have insulted Islam.

Dear Mu'mineen,

Salamun Alaykum and Peace and Blessings be with you all.  We would like to express our deepest sympathy and condolences to the bereaved family of the innocent citizen who was brutally and shamelessly murdered during daylight on Wednesday 22nd May 2013 in Woolwich, London

Alhamdulillah on 2nd February a delegation from Wessex Jamaat led by Sheikh FazleAbbas had a joint meeting with George Hollingberry, Member of Parliament for Meon Valley (constituency where our Al Mahdi centre is situated), at the Kings Church, High Street, Bishops Waltham Village.

In College Park Infant School we had a whole week of getting to know and celebrate our differences. The motto of the week was:

“Learn to love our differences.”

“Thank you so much for the gift brought to our door today. It was a lovely gesture and a really nice surprise! My mother and I would like to wish you all the best with your new venture in Fontley Road.”

LOCAL Christian and Muslim leaders have joined forces to condemn the film recently made in America that expresses strong, anti-Islamic sentiments – and to condemn violent responses in various parts of the world.
