Temporary Mosque Closure – COVID-19

Assalamwalaikoum Brothers and Sisters in Islam,

We all know that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is very serious, more people are becoming infected and death toll is rising nationally.

EICC has taken advice and has followed developments in UK and overseas very closely. We have taken on board the views of our community, our management group our Imam and the latest government guidance.

We thank our community for expressing their opinions and views during the consultation period. Your input has been very helpful as the closure of our mosque is the most difficult decision. It’s a decision that needs religious clarity and courage.

After careful consideration of: all the facts, risks and your opinions, EICC has taken the decision to temporerily close the mosque with immediate effect from tonight until further notice.

We ask our community to pray at home from Fajr tomorrow.

We pray that Allah swt accepts our decision and bless us all with His mercy.
