Our Visit My Mosque Day was a huge success as we opened our doors to the Portsmouth population.
Our Visit My Mosque Day was a huge success as we opened our doors to the Portsmouth population.
On this Friday, a day usually dedicated to congregation and togetherness, we are deeply aggrieved by the news of the appalling shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Tuesday 15th January marked the 24th Annual Muslim-Christian gathering held at Portsmouth Cathedral, where the congregation of the Al Mahdi Centre and St Thomas’ Cathedral had the opportunity to meet amidst food for the body and soul.
Since the new year, Wessex Jamaat has been hosting Fajr programmes at the mosque for gents on Sunday mornings, which has had a great response.
The objective for this event is for Religious Education trainee teachers to visit a centre, meet Muslims, ask questions on Islam, and to gain a practical insight on Islam and Muslims in the U.K.
Wessex Jamaat would like to thank Reverend Susan Allman for her kind invitation and we look forward to the further growth of this special relationship between our communities.
Wessex Jamaat is proud to regularly host groups of schoolchildren and scouts groups for educational visits to the centre.
As part of the GCSE RE lessons, Year 10 students at the Swanmore College visited Al Mahdi Centre on 5th June, 2017.
We are immensely delighted to announce that our Resident Alim, Sheikh Fazle Abbas Datoo, is the winner of the 'Most Impactful Imam' award!
