Salaams, I just wanted to say Mufti Qari Iqram is so good. It's like praying in Makkah behind him. Really full of knowledge and a humble brother. He relates so well with both old and young. Never heard a powerful speech like his when I came for Jumma. Stay blessed and please pray for my family.
Well organised mosque during COVID19 pandemic. Friday prayers conducted in multiple sessions. Strict social distancing, compulsory face mask & own prayer matt, contact tracing and one way system in place. Could not think a better and safer way to manage a Friday prayer. Well done to the mosque management.
Place to worship peaceful. Friendly management and good environment. And Imam saheb is also so humble.
Assalam u Alaikum .. Mashallah nice mosque, I’m lucky to have got this mosque near my work place ... imam sahib is a great person, always gives a nice speech and beautiful messages for everyone ... I always try to come early to the mosque to listen to the Imam sahib One big thing in regards to imam sahib is that he has a beautiful voice.. when I read my Jummah Imam sahib’s voice always touchs my heart ❣ May Allah give him a long life.. Best wishes from Sheffield to the mosque and especially Iman Amir sahib .. 1
