UK Riots: Community Reassurance Statement

Glasgow Central Mosque calls for unity in face of riots, terror and Islamophobia

Muslim and Christian leaders met at Glasgow Central Mosque to call for peace and unity in the wake of the riots in England and Belfast. Scotland is a place of cohesive communities and we reject those who seek to divide us.

Poverty Relief

Our Poverty Relief project supports over 200 service users, individuals and families, from across Glasgow, every week.

At least 150 food & essentials parcels are prepacked by volunteers, as well as a selection of items available for those who wish to pick what they need. We also deliver to 27 vulnerable service users.

The programme is a lifeline for many people who are destitute or don’t have access to services and we can only sustain it through the generous support of our community.

It is related from Ummul Mo’mineen Aishah رضي الله عنها from the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم; he said, “Indeed Allah does rear a date and a morsel as one of you rears His foal or calf until it (the date or morsel which has been donated) becomes like Mount Uhud.” (Saheeh Ibn Hiban in Targheeb)

Hypertension Awareness

Glasgow Central Mosque is pleased to continue working in partnership with the NHS, British Heart Foundation and University of Glasgow to raise awareness about Hypertension.

High blood pressure (Hypertension) is a common condition that affects a significant number of adults. If left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems. 1 in 3 adults require treatment for high blood pressure at some point in their lives.

This Friday 17th May, from 11.30am to 3pm, there will be stands in both the men’s and women’s foyer areas within Glasgow Central Mosque.

Come along and have your blood pressure measured. We encourage all to participate.

Sudan Emergency Appeal

More than a year of civil war has led to one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises in Sudan. Half of Sudan’s population, over 24 million people, are affected:

– 9 million+ displaced
– Largest child displacement crisis in the world.
– 18m+ Sudanese have acute food insecurity
– 700k children suffering from severe malnutrition.
– Over 70% of health facilities in conflict-affected areas no longer functional
– Two-thirds of the population lack access to health care.

Glasgow Central Masjid will be launching its appeal for donations tomorrow to support the humanitarian effort.

Please donate generously through cash and contactless at the mosque or by bank transfer.

May Allah swt grant our brothers and sisters strength and patience during this difficult period.

Wudhu Area Refurbishment

By the grace of Allah swt, the refurbishment of both Wudhu areas is now complete. We thank you for your patience during the works.

The men’s wudhu area has gone through a complete overhaul with the project undertaken by a reputable contractor, having worked with the Scottish Government and national supermarkets.

The redesigned floorplan in both the male and female wudhu areas was chosen through detailed consultation with a leading architect who oversaw the projects. The materials selected were of the highest standards with Porcelain tiles and Quartz carefully selected direct from Italy, and single lever taps made bespoke in Germany.

The completed works has resulted in a fit for purpose ablution area with an increased capacity to cater for our growing congregation.

We invite you all to visit your new look wudhu areas at Glasgow Central Mosque.

May Allah swt accept the efforts of all those who contributed to this project. And make our Masjid a source of blessing for the entire city and beyond.
