*Suspension of Activities at Worthing Masjid from the 5th of November*

 

Due to the recent lockdown, we have no option but to suspend all activities at Worthing Masjid starting after Isha prayers tonight. (04/11/2020)

Worthing Masjid shall suspend:

• Congregational five daily prayers
• Congregational Jummuah prayers
• Childrens Madrasah Classes, and
• Programmes, events, visits and talks at the Masjid.

The Imams alongside members of the teaching staff will deliver the Adhaan, offer Salah 5 times daily and engage in Aamals to protect the sanctity of the Masjid.

A selected group of committee members who attend the Masjid most regularly have been chosen to attend the prayers if the Imams are unable to do so. They will also ensure that the minimum number of attendees are present for
the validity of Jumuah.

We appreciate your co-operation and understanding. We urge you to take all necessary precautions to stop the
spread of the virus.

We also encourage you
to continue your daily prayers and routines from home, engage in Dua, recitation of the Quran, Istighfaar and
Durood.

We pray that Allah, the Most Merciful, showers us with His infinite mercy and grants relief, protection and ease
to all of humanity in these testing times.

We will continue to keep our community regularly updated by way of our home transmitter, website (www.worthingmasjid.co.uk) and Facebook page.
